I always remember a poem by Emily Dickinson learnt years back as a child. It is one of those jewels of English poetry which never leave you.
"Success is counted sweetest
By those who ne'er succeed.
To comprehend a nectar
Requires sorest need"
There is something very exhilarating about competitions. The rush of adrenaline , the nervous calm just before the results ...Its all a part and parcel of the whole experience. It was incredibly inspiring and encouraging to see dedication and hard work rewarded and recognised at esteemed forums such as the food and wine academy. Our society is obsessed with the appeal of chefs as beacons of culinary brilliance and hardworking managers and front of house members are often overlooked as unsung heroes. We at the Ambrette are addicted to competing and look forward to the next national challenge.Lets play on....
