Having taken part in a GCSE Food competition at school, two of our Year 10 students, Roman Coutts and Joe Dengel, recently attended the Local Heat of a national cooking competition; Future Chef 2023.
Springboard (https://springboard.uk.net/) is a charity that encourages young people into the hospitality and catering industry through events such as the FutureChef cooking competition.
The competition was held at Waltham Forest College and the brief was to make a main course dish for two people, within an hour and with a budget of £5.
Roman was announced as one of the two winners, with his salmon and spicy pilaf dish earning him a place at the Regional Finals in February.
Both students cooked exceptionally well and in a pressurised environment.
Well done boys and congratulations to Roman.
