D&D London appoints executive chef at Skylon

Written by: Katie Imms
Restaurant group D&D London has promoted Helena Puolakka – chef patron at Aster (London, Victoria) – to executive chef of Skylon (Southbank) as well.

Maintaining her position at Aster, which she opened with D&D in 2017, Puolakka’s new appointment sees her ‘expand and evolve her role’ taking the helm at two restaurants within D&D London’s portfolio.

 

She said: “Opening Aster was a new platform for me to learn about the industry and it was extremely valuable for my development for future roles.

 

“You can take the chef out of the kitchen but you can’t take the kitchen out of the chef, so when the opportunity arose to bring my concept and style of cooking back to Skylon, I couldn’t resist but go back to the kitchen.”
