Clare Smyth, MBE
You might know Clare Smyth from “Master Chef” or “Top Chef,” but before she was a celebrity chef, she was the first female chef in the U.K. to win three Michelin stars. Her acclaimed restaurant, Core by Clare Smyth, showcases her precision and delight in British ingredients. Clare’s Sydney restaurant, Oncore by Clare Smyth, earned the maximum Australian accolade of “three hats,” and she has won “Chef of the Year” (Good Food Guide) and “Best Female Chef in the World” (World’s 50 Best Restaurants).

“My passion for sourcing quality doesn't just stop at produce: It extends into everything I do, including what cookware I use. Being able to officially champion HexClad and their incredible products is a natural step for me, and I’m excited and proud to be associated with the brand. Their pans elevate the cooking experience for the professional and home cook alike, and I can't wait to see what's next.”
