NZ-UK Culinary Challenge And Win A Trip To New Zealand

It’s Not Too Late To Enter The NZ-UK Culinary Challenge And Win A Trip To New Zealand

ENTRIES EXTENDED TO 10 OCTOBER 2011

In association with Air New Zealand and UK Craft Guild of Chefs, entries have been extended for one lucky chef to win an amazing all expenses paid three-week tour of New Zealand, working in the country's best restaurants and lodges and visiting food producers and wineries as part of the annual UK-NZ Culinary Challenge.

Taking place at Westminster Kingsway College in London on Monday 24 October 2011, the UK-NZ Culinary Challenge is open to young UK chefs who are keen to show off their culinary talents by designing a three-course gourmet menu. Eight lucky finalists will then go into a cook-off, which will take place on Monday and be judged by a panel of judges including the founder of the competition Peter Gordon, Chef/Proprietor of Providores and Tapa Restaurant. The winner will later be announced that evening at an official awards ceremony, hosted by the NZ High Commissioner in the Penthouse Suite of New Zealand House, London.

Entries for the competition can be made by nominating and entering a candidate(s) or by entering directly. Restaurants or Colleges of each of the eight finalists will receive a complimentary case of Trinity Hill Wines.

Entries for the competition can now be submitted up until 10 October 2011.

Chefs entering the competition must be aged between 18 and 23 years old as of 1st December 2011, in training or employment and hold a British passport.
