The British Culinary Federation
The formation of the British Culinary Federation is the result of the Midlands Association of Chefs and the Chefs & Cooks Circle joining together. The Chefs & Cooks Circle was the most senior chefs’ association, founded in 1948 and the Midlands Association of Chefs was an immediate success story, following its foundation in 1978.
​
The British Culinary Federation, World Association of Chef Societies National Member has been founded on a partnership between the Chefs and Cooks Circle and the Midlands Association of Chefs who, between them have over 85 years of experience in the industry.
​
The BCF is the only internationally recognised Chefs organisation for England.

I will be moving to the Executive as a Vice President and will carry on my role overseeing the England National Culinary Teams as an advisor. I will continue to work hard towards maintaining the continued success of the British Culinary Federation.
