The Brigade. London, UK.
“The RATIONAL are in constant use, all day – so the fact that they are self cleaning is a huge bonus. Run the programme at the end of the day and, in the morning, they look like new.” - Alistair Dibbs, head chef
Passion for Food.
Opening late 2011, Brigade in Tooley Street is a highly successful bar, bistro and cook school. It’s also the trading arm of an inspiring initiative to help homeless and vulnerable people. Chef Simon Boyle founded the Beyond Food Foundation with the aim to use his team’s passion for food to inspire and enthuse young people who have dropped out of society. At Brigade, these young adults get the chance to be apprentice chefs, working towards real jobs.
Many organisations have supported the Foundation’s work, including equipment suppliers such as RATIONAL. In fact, Brigade has two new SelfCookingCenter® combi steamers – and they were supplied on permanent loan, to help the charity’s work. “We use the RATIONAL for just about everything: proving and baking bread (we make 20 to 30 kilos a day), roasting meat, fish. When we had to do twenty steaks at once for a private party we used a RATIONAL rather than the grill, and they were perfect,” says Brigade’s head chef, Alistair Dibbs.
The RATIONAL Solution.
“It’s the results that are most important, we’re all about our craft – we want everything to be perfect. That means that accuracy is vital – the temperature, the cooking climate and the timing. The RATIONAL provide this for us.” The RATIONAL also gives a better yield, which saves on food costs. “We recently baked a whole sea bass for a party of 30. We used the RATIONAL temperature probe and it came out
perfectly. Accuracy gives perfect results.” One of the new technologies on the whitefficiency® model is particularly important at Brigade. “HiDensityControl® means that the temperature and cooking climate are totally consistent throughout, so the back of the top shelf is exactly the same as the front of the bottom one. When we bake bread the results are remarkable – absolutely even, all the way through.” says Alistair
