The Swiss Sensation
Chef Anton Mosimann
6th-10th November 2007

Born in 1947, Chef Anton Mosimann, or the King of Kitchens as he would become known, showed a distinct love of gourmet from a young age, using his parents' restaurant as a palette for his marvelous creations. His passion paid off in 1975, when, at 29, he was appointed as the youngest ever Maitre Chef de Cuisine at the Dorchester. It was during his 13-year tenure at London's most prestigious hotel too that Chef Anton achieved his second milestone; earning two Michelin Stars for the hotel, the first ever establishment outside France to do so.

The rest, they say, is history. After reinventing British food, Chef Anton went on to bringing his unique culinary vision throughout Europe, Canada, the Far East and Japan. He has since written over 10 best-selling books, invented the Cuisine Naturelle philosophy that has inspired a revolution in the culinary industry, set up a host of gastronomic-related establishments including Mosimann's in Belgravia, the Mosimann Academy in Battersea and Mosimann's Party Services, all while receiving countless accolades such as an Order of the British Empire from Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II and the Catey Lifetime Achievement Award from the British Catering Industry.
