Luke Sanderson from The Grand Hotel & Spa, York has made the final in the Chaine Des Rotisseurs Young Chefs Competition 2017. The winner of the competition will be announced on 24 March 2017.
The Chaine Des Rotisseurs Young Chefs Competition is in its 41st year and takes place in over 25 countries around the world. The winner from each country will go on to the international final, this year held in Frankfurt in September.
The competition aims to support and promote future young chefs by giving them the opportunity to develop and demonstrate their skills.
Each contestant was given an identical, previously unidentified “market basket” containing certain basic ingredients. Using all of these ingredients, as well as drawing on a variety of staples from a pantry, the contestants were asked to compose and execute a three-course menu for four people.
Contestants were allowed 2½ hours for preparation, after which the finished dishes were presented to be judged. Judges include chef Daniel Galmiche.
