Dart Marina’s head chef creates Three Star Gold re

31st July 2012

Tom Woods, Head Chef at Dart Marina Hotel & Spa in Dartmouth, Devon, created the Tregothnan Honey Frozen Yoghurt Ice recipe with Salcombe Dairy, also a Food & Drink Devon member.  The recipe has been awarded a coveted Three Star Gold Great Taste Award and it has also been listed on the Great Taste Award’s Top 50 Foods in Britain. 

“I was blown away when I heard the news – and so pleased for Dan Bly at Salcombe Dairy who I’ve worked with on the project.  The recipe is totally West Country – I made it with honey from the Tregothnan Estate in Cornwall, cream from a small dairy farm in Devon and yoghurt from Yarty Valley at Axminster, again in Devon.  As a chef working at the heart of the Devon food scene, this is all great news for Devon, and of course to have a Great Taste Award for a recipe I’ve had the honour to work on is a great result,” explained Tom Woods, Head Chef at Dart Marina Hotel & Spa.    

Salcombe Dairy’s Dan Bly said; “Tom has worked with us to develop several new recipes, both classic combinations and innovative new ices and these take us to another level.  We already supply restaurants across the South West and many high class restaurants in the South East including chefs in London who demand pure flavours, quality ingredients and a point of difference.  Our ice creams and sorbets are also on board Air New Zealand and Singapore Airlines flights – so this new flavour with its Great Taste Award may be winging across the oceans if we are lucky. It’s also fitting that the ingredients are sourced from within the West Country and we celebrate this award for ourselves and for the spotlight it shines on Salcombe and Dartmouth!”
