Chef of the Year is the most prestigious chef competition in Australia, and entries are closing soon. If you are a professional chef thinking about getting involved then make sure you jump online and fill out the nomination form by 1 June.
The competition is running from 27–29 June as part of the Foodservice Australia exhibition in Melbourne. From an expected 200 entries the top 32 will be chosen to compete live in four kitchens built on the show floor.
Chefs will be given a mystery box of ingredients and one hour of cooking time. The challenge is to prepare your two best dishes and impress the judges. Their scores will be based on taste, presentation, innovation, technique and efficiency.
The top four chefs will compete on the last day of the show in a huge Grand Final. The winner will take home a trophy, cheque and Unox oven. There is $10,000 to be shared as well as great prizes. Every finalist takes home their jacket and some amazing memories.
