7th annual Student Chef Competition
The Georgia Department of Education School Nutrition Division is excited to announce the 7th annual Student Chef Competition.
The competition consists of two parts: recipe development and recipe cooking demonstration/replication.
The Fueling Georgia’s Future Student Chef Competition is designed to encourage students to engage with School Nutrition Professionals and learn about the process of planning, sourcing, and preparing school meals. Students have the opportunity to demonstrate their culinary skills in a competitive environment while gaining valuable knowledge in recipe development, food preparation, teamwork, and local food systems. The competition aims to stimulate interest in locally produced foods in School Nutrition Programs. The recipes will feature Georgia grown ingredients. The results are nutritious, student-inspired recipes that include local foods and are easily incorporated into school meals.
