Young Spanish Chef of the Year 2008

Foods from Spain has launched a new competition to reward excellent new chefs creating Spanish dishes and using Spanish ingredients.

Open to anyone between the ages of 17 and 23 who is studying catering or hospitality courses, the competition seeks to find the best young Spanish chef, who must design a delicious two-course meal for four covers using selected Spanish fresh produce among the ingredients.

A panel of leading chefs, restaurateurs and food writers will judge the final round of the competition at a cook off at Westminster College, London, in October.
