Enter now and it could be you!

Following on from thesuccess of last year’s Pasta Chef of the Year Competition we’ll once again be looking for the best pasta chefs across the UK. The competition will be held in conjunction with the existing pizza chef quest, taking in five regional heats and a grand final. We’ve teamed up again with pasta manufacturer Keck to create a competition with two categories.

Contestants are required to create a pasta dish for each of the two categories using either of the nominated products. Contestants may enter up to two recipes in each category.
Free samples of Keck pasta will be sent to the entrants from UK distributors, Food Team for experimentation and design.

How it works
In each category, chefs must create a unique dish or an innovative re-imagining of a classic dish. Judges will be specifically looking to see how the dish showcases the pasta chosen, along with the commercial viability, overall composition, flavour and appeal. Please note that ‘Al Forno’ dishes will be very difficult to produce due to time and oven restrictions at the competitions.

In these live events,entrants will prepare their pastadishes for judging and each ofthe two category winners willgo forward to compete in thefinal on 16th November 2017 atthe ‘European Pizza and Pasta Show’ – Olympia, London.
