UK-NZ Culinary Challenge – entry date extended

Entries for the competition originally needed to be submitted by 1 October. 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 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. 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.
