Entries Open for 2010 Gastronomy Team of the Year

Entries are now being invited for this year's Academy of Food & Wine's Gastronomy Team of the Year 2010competition. If you have a chef/waiter team who could devise a menu with wines, you could be in with a chance of winning.

The competition, sponsored by Discover the Origin, seeks to find the chef/waiter team that submits the best two-course menu with matching wines. The menu must make use of Parma ham and Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese, matched with wines from Burgundy, Port and Douro Valley wines, which are part of the Discover the Origin PDO (protected designation of origin) campaign.

The first round features a questionnaire, from which successful teams will be chosen to submit their menu with wines. To find the ultimate winner, the best teams from five regions will be invited to a cook-and-serve final at Westminster Kingsway College, London, on 19 July 2010.

KEY QUESTIONS TO CONSIDER BEFORE ENTERING:

-Is your menu planned with matching wines in mind?
-Has your sommelier or wine waiter tasted all the food on the menu?
-Do your front-of-house staff and your kitchen brigade work effectively as a team?

Entry forms can be downloaded at www.afws.co.uk or contact the Academy of Food & Wine on 020 8661 4646. All entries must be received by 26 March 2010.
