SUPER CHEF2015-16

A message from Anthony Gray

SUPER CHEF

2015-16The Super Chef competition gives students an opportunity to create tasty, healthy and affordable meals at home.

Students are asked to submit their favourite healthy meal (main course dish only) for TWO people.

The competition is open to all students in post-primary schools on the island of Ireland and Youthreach Centres in the Republic of Ireland.

The All-Island Cook Off will be held on the 10th & 11th February 2016 in St. Angela’s College, Sligo. The final is judged by a panel of experts including award winning chef Wade Murphy of 1826 Adare.

The prizes include tablets, equipment for schools & vouchers for teachers!

As President of the Restaurants Association of Ireland, I am delighted to announce the second year of our partnership with St. Angela’s College Sligo in delivering the All-Island Cookery Competition, Super Chef.

Over my two year term as President, I will strive to assist schools both at Primary and Secondary level, in teaching students healthy eating habits and how to make positive food choices with the food they consume every day. Together with the RAI, I am calling for Home Economics to become a compulsory subject on the curriculum, at least until Junior Cert level. The emphasis of this subject is on the preparation of nutritional food in everyday life and healthy eating.

As an Association, we hope that educating the youth of Ireland on how and why we cook may lead to a lifelong career and not

just a pastime. While the competition aims to promote healthy eating and positive lifestyle choices, it also promotes the chef as a potential career.

As a 32 county competition, we continue to be an inclusive Association, opening the opportunity to all post-primary students in Ireland, as well as students in Youthreach centres.

I really look forward to working with St. Angela’s on our continued partnership while also recognising the young culinary talents that Ireland has to offer. Let’s get cooking!
