Major Series

Each year Major International and the Craft Guild of Chefs organise the Major Culinary Challenge and Mini Series of Display Classes. 

The national competitions are open to junior and senior chefs of varying skill levels from any type of outlet and take place throughout the year at venues around the country. 

A host of live and static display classes are held including pastry and restaurant skills, as well as the hot live Culinary Challenge, which allows 70 minutes to prepare and cook two main courses using fish and a range of Major marinades.
