The Roux Scholarship Master Class 2020/21

As part of the final stage of The Roux Scholarship competition each year, the competing chefs are challenged to recreate a dish selected for them by Alain Roux and Michel Roux Jr.

Alain and Michel then demonstrate how the dish should look in a Master Class video. We filmed this year’s Master Class in the kitchen of Alain’s Michelin starred restaurant, The Waterside Inn.

In honour of their late fathers, the chefs had selected two recipes that mean a lot to the Roux family. The first, Eggs Albert, in honour of Albert Roux was an artichoke heart filled with smoked salmon, trout and truffle, topped with a poached egg and adorned with a slice of smoked salmon. The second, in honour of Michel Roux OBE was Little Flans with Snails in Green Coats. This comprised of snails and herb soufflé baked in a tartlet with beurre blanc sauce.
