Daniel Murphy and Joel Stephens both TAFE SA trained chefs have won the chance to represent South Australia at the National final of the Golden Chef’s Hat Award in Melbourne.
Daniel
and Joel from 1918 Bistro & Grill in Tanunda won the South
Australia final with their Red Curry Fish dumplings, Oyster Blade Fillet
with Sautéed Spinach and Chocolate Liaison Tart with Coffee Anglaise.
The experience was new to both chefs as they had never competed before. While working in a kitchen is a constant pressure this was a daunting challenge. Having the judges watching their every move from preparation through to completion and presentation of the final dishes was a whole new level of intensity.
The Nestlé Golden Chef’s Hat Award is dedicated to the development of Australia’s brightest and most promising apprentice chefs. Each year the competition awards two chefs under 25 the chance to develop their career through overseas training.
Competing in the Nestlé GOLDEN CHEF’S HAT AWARD gives our young chefs the opportunity to become recognised as the best up and coming apprentices in the industry by going up against their peers and putting their cooking skills to the test.
Daniel and Joel will travel to Melbourne for four days in September to participate in the National final for the chance to win a $15,000 travel voucher aimed at developing their future careers.
