FutureChef 2010
A Central Scotland schoolboy has been crowned runner up in FutureChef 2010. Conor McLean (14) beat nearly 8,000 12?16-year-olds who have cooked their way through the four stages of the competition. Conor came in a close second place, just behind overall winner Kerry Johansen from the North West.
Sixteen-year-old Kerry, who works with Sodexo on match days at Everton Football Club, worked throughout the year with her mentor chef Gareth Billington, Executive Head Chef for Sodexo Prestige at Everton Football Club.
Gareth said: 'Kerry's win is fully justified and it's nice to see a reward for all her hard work.'
FutureChef, run by The Springboard Charity, is a four-stage nationwide culinary programme helping young people aged 12-16 to learn to cook. It inspires them to explore food and cooking as a life skill, helps to develop their culinary talent and informs them about entry routes into the hospitality industry.
Kerry received a range of prizes including an all-expenses-paid trip to Rome, ?500 cash courtesy of City & Guilds, and a Titanium Chef machine from Kenwood. Her school, St Michaels Church of England, will also receive vouchers to the value of ?350, provided by Bunzl Lockhart.
Runner Up Conor scooped a behind-the-scenes visit to Royal Ascot to work with top chefs, a tour of Eton College followed by full hospitality at Ascot and a night in a top hotel.
Third prize went to Charlotte Harvey, 16, from the South East.
Registrations for the 2011 programme open this week. Visit www.futurechef.springboarduk.net for more details.
