The Rotary Young Chef competition, sponsored by Filippo Berio, gives entrants the chance to develop their culinary skills and be judged by leading industry professionals.
Entrants plan and cook a two-course meal (main course and dessert), develop their food presentation skills, and gain experience in high-pressure situations.
Whether you’re keen on a culinary career or just an enthusiastic home cook, this competition is a fantastic opportunity.
Entrants must be between the ages of 11 – 17 (as of 31st August 2024).
The winner of the Rotary Young Chef National Final will receive a prize of a two-day trip to Tuscany, which includes cookery classes to learn the secrets of regional Italian cooking.
