National Chef of the Year opens for entries
The criteria focuses on demonstrating excellent culinary skills across all disciplines.
Following the announcement that Matt Abé, who is chef patron at Restaurant Gordon Ramsay, is the new chair of judges for National Chef of the Year, his brief for the competition has been unveiled. This year, the criteria focuses on demonstrating excellent culinary skills across all disciplines, the creative use of local and global sustainable ingredients, and the avoidance of any unnecessary food waste.
Chefs should celebrate and support excellent food producers through their competition entry, showcasing both simple and high-quality ingredients, elevating them to produce excellent dishes. Professional chefs from all ethnic and gender backgrounds are invited to submit an entry to one of the UK’s longest running and most prestigious competitions.
Abé said: “Entering National Chef of the Year is a great experience for chefs to really push themselves and test their own ability, as well as against their peers in the industry. Obviously, we are looking for the next winner, but winning is not everything with this competition, as there is so much to experience at whatever stage you get to. Simply knowing some of the best chefs we have here in the UK will get to see your dishes and give you honest feedback is a great reason to enter.
“Those who do get to the final will meet so many incredible chefs. Who knows what doors this opportunity could open for you in the future.”
