Jean-Philippe Blondet of three-Michelin-starred Alain Ducasse at The Dorchester will welcome Harry Maguire, the newly crowned amateur winner of MasterChef UK, for an exclusive, one-night-only dinner.

A fishmonger by trade and a chef by passion, Maguire will reimagine the dishes that propelled him to victory on MasterChef, whilst Blondet and the team will add their creativity, precision and philosophy to each dish.

At Alain Ducasse at The Dorchester, Blondet continues to evolve Ducasse’s philosophy with his own contemporary interpretation of French gastronomy, one that honours quality, seasonality and sustainability. Earlier this year the Chef Patron was honoured by the French Republic as Knight of the Order of Agricultural Merit.

“We are so excited to welcome Harry back into the Alain Ducasse at The Dorchester kitchen, this time as a partner,” he comments. “His talent, enthusiasm and respect for the craft were clear from the moment he presented his plate to us during MasterChef. Together we will create a menu that celebrates both his journey and the philosophy of precision, provenance and passion which we champion at Alain Ducasse at The Dorchester.”

“Cooking at Alain Ducasse at The Dorchester during MasterChef was one of the most inspiring moments of my life, so to return here to create a menu alongside Jean-Philippe is an incredible honour,” Maguire adds. “The opportunity to evolve my dishes in a three-star kitchen and learn from one of the best teams in the world is truly special.”
