Tom Kitchin & Jean-Philippe Blondet to cook at Alain Ducasse at The Dorchester

By James Russell: Tom Kitchin & Jean-Philippe Blondet to cook at Alain Ducasse at The Dorchester

October 13, 2017

Alain Ducasse, Tom Kitchin and Jean-Philippe Blondet

As part of Alain Ducasse at The Dorchester’s 10th Anniversary celebrations, Tom Kitchin & Jean-Philippe Blondet will join forces with Alain Ducasse to create an exclusive, one-off collaborative dining experience at Alain Ducasse at The Dorchester on Thursday 23rd November 2017.

The two chefs will create an exquisite five-course menu, perfectly matched with wine, comprised of alternate dishes prepared by Tom and Jean-Philippe, using only the finest, fresh, seasonal ingredients that showcase each chef’s signature cooking style. The menu fuses the best of Scottish and French flavours and includes; Tom’s ‘West Coast Shellfish and Seaweed Rockpool’, Jean-Philippe’s ‘Fillet of Turbot, oyster and red wine sauce’, Tom’s ‘Saddle of Borders Roe Deer with root vegetables and fruits’ and concludes with Alain Ducasse at The Dorchester’s ‘Chocolate from our Manufacture in Paris’.

A former protégé of Alain Ducasse who trained under his guidance, Tom Kitchin, has since become one of the UK’s leading chefs. Tom shares Alain Ducasse’s ethos of using the very best seasonal ingredients to deliver exquisitely crafted dishes at his Michelin star restaurant, The Kitchin, in Edinburgh.

Tom will join Executive Chef at Alain Ducasse at The Dorchester, Jean-Philippe Blondet, for this unique experience. Both Tom and Jean-Philippe worked under Alain Ducasse at Le Louis XV-Alain Ducasse à l’Hôtel de Paris in Monaco. There, they learned to appreciate each and every inch of a seasonal ingredient and how it can be used to create truly outstanding dishes.

The evening begins at 7pm with a Champagne and canapé reception in the presence of Alain Ducasse. Tickets will be sold in two tranches, on 13th September 2017 and 30th October 2017. Reservations can be made via Alain Ducasse at The Dorchester’s reservations team (full prepayment required)

5-course menu with wine pairing; £290 per person (incl. VAT, excl. service charge)
