Finalists announced for Fonterra Proud to be a Chef 2018

The 2018 Proud to be a Chef finalists have been announced. Applicants were evaluated on their culinary passion, aspirations, goals and long-term commitment to becoming a chef, as well as their original recipe submission.

The 32 finalists will be flown to Melbourne in February to participate in an all-expenses paid four-day program of events including masterclasses with top industry professionals.

“I’d like to thank everyone who took the time to apply for next year’s program and extend the warmest congratulations to our 32 finalists,” says Fonterra Foodservice channel marketing manager Alastair McCausland.

“Proud to Be a Chef is all about helping you to take your careers to the next level, so get set to experience four days you won’t forget!”

The program’s administrators and mentors will be working hard behind the scenes between now and February to ensure an action-packed and intensive program for the finalists.

The culmination of the program will be the awarding of the $7,500 Proud to Be a Chef International Culinary Scholarship, which will be presented to the standout finalist at the Gala Dinner and tailored to their personal interests and goals as a professional chef.
