Chefs now have until Friday April 18th to download and submit their entry for paper judging. Entry forms can be downloaded from https://craftguildofchefs.org/competitions/the-national-chef-of-the-year

This year’s brief is to produce a creative lunch menu for four guests within two hours.

In addition, the menu must consist of: A vegetable focused starter

A main course using locally sourced fresh white fish, with appropriate accompaniments

A dessert using summer fruits, served hot or cold.  

David Mulcahy, the competition’s organiser and Vice President of the Craft Guild of Chefs says, “We’ve already received some strong entries but we know that there are chefs out there who should be in the running. Taking part in National Chef of the Year is a rewarding challenge for any chef and for those who reach the finals it can provide a huge career boost - just ask the previous winners!”
