Dear Paul,  I'm delighted to let you know that the story I sent to Navy Supply Newsletter on the chef exchange program at Miss Maud's restaurant in Fremantle received a publisher's commendation recently from the editorial team in Canberra. Obviously I am very honoured but also pleased as it is great news for the Miss Maud group too.
Hope all is well. Kind regards, Joanne Williams, Senior Consultant; Oak Ridge Communication Group

DAY 1 ... After berthing, a supply officer from each ship meets with representatives from the hotel and Catering Institute to discuss arrangements. For instance:
* Select appropriate days/times for both exchanges.
* Organise transport arrangements for both chefs. * Inform media sources.
* Arrange a time for publicity photographs. If this meeting is held on-board the ship with both chefs present in their uniforms, this is the deal photographic opportunity in the galley without having to interfere on the day.

DAY 2 ... Exchange one: The hotel chef will step aboard the ship and cook up a storm. The confined spaces of the galley and restricted on-board food supplies are sure to provide a challenge.

DAY 3 ... Exchange two: The Navy cook will visit the prestigious hotel’s kitchen. Photographs and/or an interview with both chefs could be organised for later in the day.

G'dya Paul, I have just returned from 2 weeks in sunny Thailand and have been reading through the email exchanges regarding the Chef Exchange. Sounds like it was a howling success! I am glad to have helped in a small way. You have done a wonderful job in fostering relations within the International Military/Naval and Catering Communities - good on ya mate! www.gunplot.net

Paul, I personally interviewed my cooks upon their return from working at the various restraunts in Fremantle & Perth. To my surprise they all enjoyed. One of my cooks actually, ask me to leave him in Australia. I thought it was a total success. Good to share knowledge with the outside world in the food service business. Good Luck! CWO2 Quarles
