Salon Culinaire’s Chefskills comps back for IFEX 2022
Salon Culinaire have launched the Chefskills competitions schedule for IFEX 2022, which is coming to Belfast’s Titanic Exhibition Centre from March 29-31.
Playing its role in helping the industry’s rising stars and talented professionals battle it out in the kitchen, Salon Culinaire has always been central to IFEX and plays a key role in creating the electric atmosphere at Northern Ireland’s biggest foodservice and hospitality event.
As well as attracting chefs from all sectors of the industry and with all levels of experience, the Salon Culinaire competitions will feature over 30 categories during the three days of the show.
At the heart is the ChefSkills Live Theatre – with previous winners including Michael Deane, Chris Bell and Roisin Gavin.
ChefSkills competitions include the hotly contended Department of Agriculture, Environment and Rural Affairs-supported IFEX Northern Ireland Chef of the Year and Northern Ireland Junior Chef of the Year accolades.
Salon Culinaire director Sean Owens said: “The past number of years have been a testing time for our industry, but with the return of IFEX, celebrating its 25th anniversary, we are confident that our industry is strong and resilient, and we relish the prospects for growth and development throughout our sector.”
“From student chefs and kitchen trainees to celebrated, leading chefs within the industry, we have a program for all at IFEX 2022.
“I’m confident that we’re going to discover some extraordinarily talented young chefs, and to have uncovered and encouraged new talent to flourish at IFEX is exactly what the premier event for the food, drink, retail and hospitality industries is all about.”
Also returning in 2022 is IFEX Street Food International: Set to sizzle, Street Food International, which will see teams of invited competitors from Northern Ireland’s catering colleges produce and serve a range of exciting modern street food style dishes to pre-ticketed diners during lunch service at IFEX.
For those who hope to compete, ChefSkills and Edible Art are now open for entry. For more information, visit: www.ifexexhibition.co.uk/salon-culinaire
