The hunt begins for Spanish Young Chef of the Year

The hunt has officially begun to find the winner of the Spanish Young Chef of the Year competition, which offers young chefs the chance to train at Ferran Adrià's three-Michelin-starred restaurant El Bulli.

Judges are looking for young chefs who show a flair for cooking with Spanish ingredients and in a Spanish style. The food they are looking for might be traditional Spanish food with a flamboyant modern twist, or entirely new dishes inspired by Spanish ingredients and methods.

The panel will judge entries to this competition in two stages: a paper-based first round (closing date November 27th), followed by a cook off in London in January 2010.

Not only will the winner be named Foods from Spain Spanish Young Chef of the Year 2010, they will also win a visit to Roses on Spain's Costa Brava, a trip that will include several days in the kitchen at El Bulli.

Further details about the competition, and additional entry packs, can be downloaded at www.foodsfromspain.co.uk
