Master Chefs of Great Britain was founded in 1980 as a forum to further the profession and provide a place for the exchange of ideas. Usually a Chef must be invited to become a member; however, a Chef can also make a personal application and then his or her qualifications will be determined by Master Chefs within the geographical area and, usually, a personal interview. Master Chef status requires adherence to the highest standards of technical expertise and culinary art as well as a willingness to promote local products and to provide guidance and training to young chefs.
There are several levels of Chef membership from Full membership to Junior Membership for apprentice chefs who need to serve five years in a well-known establishment before becoming eligible for Full membership. Other categories include sous chef and pastry chef. Users to the website can search for specific chefs, restaurants, or regions. The website contains information about becoming a corporate member of Master Chefs of Great Britain, which confers a number of benefits including access to expertise in product development, advertising on the Master Chefs of Great Britain website, and opportunities to network with Chefs and other cooking professionals. There is also a link to news about the Master Chefs of Great Britain and its members.
