Entrants to this year’s competition are being asked to take account of the current economic climate and environmental trends in their choice of a seasonal main-course dish. They should incorporate local and artisan produce at a value-for-money cost.
Those interested in participating should seek nomination by a Euro-Toques member and submit their CV and written entry form by the closing date of February 18, 2009.
Entry forms are available by contacting Ruth Hegarty at Euro-Toques Ireland. Tel 01-6779995; email: info@eurotoquesirl.org or visit www.eurotoquesirl.org
The entrants will be whittled down to a shortlist of candidates, who will go through to a face-to-face interview with a panel of top chefs.
The finalists will get to cook a five-course gourmet meal for specially invited guests at an awards ceremony on Monday, April 6, in Restaurant Patrick Guillbaud, Dublin, after which the winner will be announced.
