The “pointy end” of the industry in action

The “pointy end” of the industry in action

Check out the red-hot culinary competition between some of the world's top chef teams during the New Zealand International Culinary Challenge. It'll be held at Fine Food New Zealand 2012, organised by the New Zealand Chefs Association and sponsored by Fonterra.

Teams of chefs under 25 years old from Australia, Singapore, and New Zealand will go head-to-head on days one and two of the event to win the Gourmet Pacific Challenge. Then, on day three we bring out the Big Guns - three teams of senior chefs from Australia, Singapore, and New Zealand vying to win the Battle of the Tasman.

"These guys are right at the top of their game - they can stand toe-to-toe with anyone worldwide," says New Zealand Chefs Association Vice-President Gary Miller.

"The Kiwi team has just won six gold medals back-to-back and they're keen to add another gold to their trophy cabinet. But the Singapore team are the current world champions so it's bound to be very close."

The senior chefs will have five hours to prepare and cook 70 covers of a four-course meal from scratch, followed by two hours of service. The results will then be judged by an international panel of experts from Australia, Singapore, and Hong Kong.

Visitors to Fine Food New Zealand can sample the five-star dishes created by these world-class international competitors at special prices on every day of the show. On day one individual dishes will be available for only $10 each, full three-course meals on day two, and four course meals including a glass of wine will be exceptional value at $35 each on day three. Tickets for these sessions are available on a first come, first served basis by calling 0800 692 433.

"These competitions provide an excellent opportunity for punters to see the pointy end of the industry in action - and to showcase New Zealand food products to an international audience of buyers," says Miller.

Fine Food New Zealand will be held at the ASB Showgrounds from 17 - 19 June and entry is free by registering online by 10 June 2012. Register now.

Any New Zealand producers or companies interested having their products showcased at these events can contact Gail on 09 376 4604 or gail@finefoodnz.co.nz
