Welcome to the Craft Guild of Chefs Website. For more information about the Craft Guild of Chefs please visit our about us page, navigation menu.
Established in 1965 as a Guild of the Cookery and Food Association, the Craft Guild of Chefs has developed into the leading Chefs’ Association in the UK and has many members worldwide.
2012 marks the tenth year of the graduate awards.
These awards offer chefs under 23 the chance to prove they really are at the cutting edge and are making great strides up the career ladder.
The awards recognise a young working chef’s culinary excellence, testing their knowledge and skills in a series of culinary challenges in a high pressured environment.
The Wessex Salon Culinaire, one of the largest live culinary competitions in the south, is moving to Brockenhurst College in Hampshire for the 2012 event and will be held from April 3-4.
Located in the heart of the New Forest National Park, Brockenhurst is one of the country's leading colleges and has been awarded the prestigious Beacon College status for excellence and innovation in further education, and is ranked 'outstanding' by Ofsted. The college offers superb facilities and its students achieve excellent results.
The popular event, which is held in association with the Craft Guild of Chefs, has grown in stature over the years and is a great platform for student chefs especially to get a first taste of competition experience.
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 50 minutes to prepare and cook two individual chicken dishes.
