iTQi Awards - 27/04/10

Chef Alan Coxon has joined the line up of international culinary stars ,as a member of the iTQi ( international taste and Quality institute ) judging panel. The panel consists of 60 major names from the culinary world holding a galaxy of Michelin stars between them  , all joined together to taste an array of ingredients from around the world for  the iTQi awards. The 3 day tasting and judging event was held in Brussels and each food product was judged with strict and rigorous procedures taking a mix of hedonic and analytical approaches ,where all the senses are used to select the very best the world has to offer. Alan is delighted to be associated and apart of the judges  and  was the only English / British chef representing the UK . Other chefs present include the executive chef of the “Ritz hotel in Paris “, the exec chef of the “Jules Vern” restaurant at the “Eiffel Tower”  Paris , the Greek culinary Olympic team leader ,the presidents of the Italian, Belge, German  and Swiss chefs associations, Several Maielleur Ouvriers de France , Arets Kock of Sweden to name but a few, formed the incredible  line up. Alan also took the opportunity to submit his own product consisting of the unique Mediaeval Old English “Ale-Gar” ( of which of course  he did not judge !!) becoming both the judge and the judged !Alan is still unaware of who tasted and judged his Ale-Gar within the group due to the strict tasting and testing procedures ,and is nervously awaiting the results and comments from his peers. Alan stated that  “  it is certainly a great deal less stressful being a judge rather than being judged ! and I can easily sympathise and appreciate the pressure and stress that any company or individual submitting a product is going through .I am looking forward to the results and naturally would like to be amongst the elite that receives a potential one, two or three star award .In the meantime I can only state that as a judge, the products I sampled and blind tasted ( 40 items per day ) were extremely diverse and ranged from a lemon scented cod liver oil ( surprisingly good ) to a less desirable soup !”.The experience of participating as a judge is certainly an honour and a privilege “ . Alan also had the pleasure of appearing and being interviewed on a variety of  French and Belgium TV channels and whilst Alan has a host of TV shows to his credit including BBC2 Ever Wondered about Food, Coxon`s Royal Feast, Coxon`s Sporting Feast and regular guest Chef presenter on UKTV Food to name but a few, this was the first time he had done TV in French!.
