Young Chef - National Final
Sat, May 20th 2017 at 10:00 am - 4:00 pm
Tabitha Steven, sponsored by Glasgow Rotary, was the youngest ever national winner.
The Rotary Club of Glasgow is delighted to have sponsored 14 year old Tabitha Steven, a pupil at the High School of Glasgow in the 2017 Rotary GB&I Young Chef Competition.
Having won the Region 1 Final Tabitha represented The Glasgow Club, District 1230 and Region I at the National Final held in Lincoln on 20 May and WON, becoming the youngest ever winner of Young Chef.
Tabitha won a “host of prizes” including a variety of Filippo Berio products (The Competition Sponsors) different olive oils, balsamic vinegar, pesto jars and a ceramic spoon rest. However her main prize, in addition to the Trophy was a trip of a lifetime; a weekend to the Filippo Berio olive groves in Tuscany where she will experience real Italian cooking. This to include flights, transfers and a chaperone.
Walter Zanre, summing up on behalf of the judges announced that Tabitha had presented 3 perfectly executed dishes; her asparagus soup tasted deliciously fresh & full of flavour. There was a lot of sea bass on the menu at the final but Tabitha’s was the most perfectly cooked piece of fish. She finished her meal with a panna cotta, and Walter having Italian roots stated that he was a great lover of panna cotta and that Tabitha’s was one of the best he had eaten.
Tabitha’s win was a SECOND in 2017 for District 1230 and The Rotary Club of Glasgow as our Team from St Aloysius’ College WON the Intermediary Final of Youth Speaks earlier in the month.
