Regal Kitchens - Masterchef Quarter Finalist Brings Crowd

Masterchef Quarter Finalist Brings Crowd to Local Kitchen Showroom

On Saturday 25th March, Chelmsfordbased award winning kitchen retailer Regal Kitchens welcomed local private chef Yui Miles for a live cookery demonstration in their showroom.

Yui reached the Masterchef quarter-finals in 2019 and prepared dishes from her upcoming cookbook, due for release later this year, using the fully working NEFF appliances they have on display.

Exquisite and authentic Massaman and green Thai curries and a salmon Thaistyle salad were on the menu, and Regal’s customers existing and new enjoyed sampling these dishes along with their staff.

This was the third cookery event Regal has held in partnership with Yui, and they are looking forward to holding many more in the future.

As ever, there will be beautiful and interesting items to browse and buy, including crystals, candles, books, jewellery, clothing, natural health products, sustainable cleaning materials and homewares.

“Aside from all that, it’s also a great day out! So much to see and do, whether you are someone who prefers quiet reflection and blissful solitude, or energetic and vibrant action. 2023 is my 25th year of running Life Arts and I see many repeat visitors and exhibitors, because they love how it feels to be here! We put lots of time and effort into planning an inclusive and safe space where everyone feels welcome.”
