Chefs from across the UK have been chosen to take part in a Masterchef-style cook off to be crowned Food from Spain’s Spanish Young Chef of the Year 2012.
The competition could be as tense the over-the-top TV show as the nine finalists compete to win a work placement in Akelare, one of Spain’s best Michelin-starred restaurants.
The finalists are:
Esme Broadbent, City College Norwich
Ben Murphy, Koffmans at The Berkeley
Samantha Bream, Coleg Llandrillo
William Chilila, The Orrery Restaurant
Daniel Lee, Westminster Kingsway College
Bartosz Kesik, Opera Tavern Restaurant
Anna Gurowska, University of West London
Billy Stock, Salt Yard Restaurant
Joseph Allen, Westminster Kingsway College
The cook off final will take place on 21st January in London. The competition was launched in 2008 to inspire talented young chefs to explore and experiment with Spanish produce and the country’s dishes.
It is part of the campaign to promote Spanish produce in the UK throughout the year, including Picota cherries, persimon, strawberries and raspberries.
