The IWFS launched the Young Chef Competition 5 years ago to celebrate the creative and technical skills of young chefs who are students at catering colleges, providing an opportunity for the chefs to develop their skills in a friendly but competitive environment
From small beginnings, the competition has grown. This year, 150 students, from 10 colleges across the country, took part. The competition started in January with a series of regional heats for the young chefs. This culminated in 25 finalists competing for the title at Leeds City College in April. The winners were announced at the awards lunch in May.
