Young Chef

We believe it is important to encourage and develop creativity in young people, including in the kitchen. Sponsored by Filippo Berio, contestants prepare and present a two course meal within a pre-set budget and time limit, judged by an expert panel.


Aims

This competition aims to encourage young people to:
 

  • Learn how to cook a healthy meal

  • Develop food presentation skills

  • Consider food hygiene issues

  • Develop organisational and planning skills

  • Develop an ability to cope in a demanding situation

 
Who can take part?
 
This competition is open to all students in full time education between ages 11 and 17 on 31 August each year.   
 
Please note this competition is intended for amateurs; for the purpose of the competition, an amateur is considered to be a person who is not in full, or regular part time, employment in the catering trade. Eligible entrants who have been temporarily employed by restaurants during the school holidays may take part.

The competition is not open to students who are enrolled on a full time catering course who are studying for a qualification above “A” level standard.
