In an ode to Swiss culinary heritage, The London Grill is prepared to collaborate with Chef Celine Maier, one of Switzerland’s best young talents.
Switzerland’s cuisine reflects its linguistic and cultural variety, offering a blend of regional and local dishes. Historically an agricultural nation, the country’s isolated territories developed and maintained a cuisine characterised by classic, traditional recipes using hearty, locally sourced, and organic ingredients.
The illustrious winner of the EuroSkills 2023 biennale competition in Gdańsk, Poland, Chef Maier was awarded gold for her extraordinary creativity in reinventing traditional Swiss culinary fare. Swiss cuisine is the hallmark of gourmet dining, with its secrets and complexities. To be able to bend the established structure of these specific European recipes and still produce the same hearty essence with stylised dishes requires acute skill and understanding.
Chef Maier employs innovative practices and techniques to create intricate and stunning Swiss cuisine tailored for the modern gourmand, all while preserving the roots to her country’s culinary traditions. Her creations are artistically calculated dishes, almost designer in their appeal, and representative of her meticulous eye for detail.
The plating style features robust colours reminiscent of Switzerland’s vibrant landscapes, prime-grade meat cuts lacquered with rich sauces, and organic produce of exceptional grade. Fuelled by her principles in joy and passion, Chef Maier’s mastery shines through in the eclectic and often abstract arrangements in her plating, preceded only by the precise flavour profiles that trademark her cooking.
In today’s dynamic, revolutionary world, being a contemporary chef demands constant creativity and originality. Chef Maier’s dedication to her craftsmanship has earned her global status and it is the same drive that propels her towards culinary excellence. With its commitment to providing epicurean distinction, this collaboration at The London Grill anticipates an event that not only offers an elevated look at Swiss dining, but with all the promise of true Swiss quality.
The experience offers a curated à la carte menu that harmonises Alpine classics with Chef Maier’s innovative techniques, promising a journey founded on the cornerstones of Swiss culinary excellence. From 25 July to 4 August, guests can expect top-notch service and a warm, inviting ambience, setting the stage for a transformative evening.
At The London Grill, this collaboration not only brings hands-on indulgence in elevated Swiss dining but also epitomises the authentic Swiss standard, promising an experience that resonates in memory long after the
final taste.
