Entries open for Nestle Professional Toque d’Or 2019

Registration is now open for the 2019 Nestle Professional Toque d’Or competition or students and apprentice chefs at commis level.

Now in its 31st year, the Toque d’O® competition is one of the UK’s most influential training and development programmes, bridging the gap between the theories of the classroom, work-based learning and the exciting reality of the industry. It’s free to enter and aims to inspire the next generation of talented young chefs to develop their skills, knowledge and experience, and to make more possible for themselves and the whole industry. The competition has so far worked with 8,000 contestants, including Jamie Oliver, and highly-regarded supporters such as Anton Mosimann and former judge James Martin.

Winning prizes this year will include a once in a lifetime gastronomic trip to Europe.

Katya Simmons, managing director of Nestlé Professional UK&I, said: “Our aim is to provide the future stars of our industries with new skills, enhancing their learning and career. We see Toque d’Or® as so much more than just a competition; we are focussed on motivating and inspiring potential talent and opening their minds to the opportunities within our industry. It’s about giving them a taste of their future.”
