on menu for young chefs


by Vivien Meath


SCHOOLS from Clitheroe will be taking part in a major-culinary competition which has dozens of prizes, including visits to major catering establishments. More than 1,000 young people throughout East Lancashire are preparing to take part in Young


Chef 2004. Tesco is the event sponsor and has donated £4,000


towards the cost of staging the East Lancashire Edu­ cation Business Partnership contest. Clitheroe Royal Grammar School and Ribblesdale


High School Technology College are two of the schools taking part. First held last year, the inaugural event was judged to be such a success, that the deci­ sion was taken to stage it annually and to expand the area for entrants. ■ Nelson and Colne College will again host the finals, with Black­ burn College, home to the event in 2005. At the launch, held


a t the Oaks Hotel, Reedley, teachers and business representa­ tives heard hotel man­ ager David Frost explain why he felt the competition was invaluable to the local catering industry. With a gen­ eral shortage of entrants to the catering profession, last year's Young Chef had lifted the industry profile. Winner Rebecca Smith, daughter of Mr and Mrs


B usiness ^


A. Smith, of Barrowford, attended the launch in her chef's whites. Her grandparents, Mr and Mrs Tony and Jean Robinson, of Lower Gazegill Farm, Rim- ington, followed her progress last year and will be doing the same in 2004. A representative of the Tri Services - Army, Royal


Navy and Marines - said that all three would again be offering support. "There is a major shortage of chefs and stewards in all three services. We are not out to take 16-year-olds away from catering establish­ ments. We need to promote the food industry as a profession and not as a third-grade job," he added.
