The Craft Guild of Chefs’ Culinary Academy is looking for talented up and coming chef entries for the 2012 Salon Culinaire at Hotelympia.
The competition offers great opportunities for all chefs. The Salon Culinaire is the beating heart of Hotelympia for chefs. Held at Excel in London from 26th February to 1st March 2012, over 8,000 chefs from across the industry visit the event.
Fergus Martin, academy team manager, said: “Without a shadow of a doubt competitions are so vital in this profession, not least because of the fact they help chefs gain industry wide recognition and put into practice different skills from the ones they may use every day. The art of showmanship is certainly a string that all chefs should be adding to their bow.
Aside from the individual entries, the Culinary Academy is also looking for six members to make up its team for La Parade des chefs at Hotelympia. There will be around ten competing cooking for visitors and their guests.
“We will be running a training camp at Wyboston Lakes in October aimed specifically at showing our younger members the ins and outs of a competition,” said Fergus. “We will cover everything from glazing, to making terrines, balancing food on plates and portion sizes. It’s our aim with the academy to spread our collective wealth of experience and share it with all our members.”
Success for members at events like these could eventually see places acquired on the Craft Guild of Chefs Culinary Academy team for the 2012 World Culinary Olympics, which will take place in Messe Erfurt, Germany.
