She’s a Star: Great Taste success for London Dames

The Great Taste 2026 results are out, and there’s plenty for Les Dames d’Escoffier London to celebrate.

We’re proud that a number of London Dames once again shared their expertise as judges for the prestigious awards, organised by the Guild of Fine Food. A special mention too for Dame Christabel Cairns, Associate Managing Director at the Guild, who plays a key role in bringing Great Taste to life each year.

This year brought an extra reason to celebrate, as Dame Jen Greenhalgh received her first Great Taste stars as a producer.

Jen entered two products — and both came away with awards; with her Apple Terror Sauce received 1 Star, while her Nash Chilli Crisp was awarded 2 Stars.

A fantastic Great Taste debut and another example of the extraordinary talent within our London Dames community.

Congratulations to Jen, our judging Dames and all the producers recognised in this year’s Great Taste awards.
