… and demanding consumers

For the launch of the All-Clad UK and France Internet sites, the brand gave bloggers the opportunity to take part in a cooking contest in two prestigious locations.

The first session of the European All-Clad Tour took place in the UK on 9 January at Whatley Manor.

The 7 February last saw the French edition of the European All-Clad Tour: it brought together the most influential French bloggers on the Web in the gourmet, luxury and design sector within the scope of a prestigious kitchen workshop: the bloggers were given the chance to make a recipe alongside Michel Portos, a chef from a highly reputed establishment, using utensils of the All-Clad brand in the kitchens of the two star Michelin restaurant, the Relais & Châteaux Saint-James in Bouliac, near Bordeaux.

Having donned their aprons, the bloggers rose, in teams, to the challenge of sublimely adapting one of Michel Portos’ recipes using All-Clad ustensils. They were hence able to fully measure the performance of the products and exchange advice and tricks of the trade.

A highly enriching adventure that gave the eight bloggers the desire to live new experiences and talk to others about them!!
