More than a few days left for the young girls and boys of Nice to register for the major Niçoise cooking contest “Chef for a Day.” To have a chance of being among the 10 finalists of this first edition, you must be unbeatable on the recipe for pissaladière. While waiting for the grand finale…
Children and future great chefs, this contest is for you! Start now and try to become the “Chef for a Day.”
The finale of this Niçoise cooking contest, organized by the City of Nice in collaboration with the Cercle de la Capelina d’Or and the Label Cuisine Nissarde, will take place on Saturday, September 13, 2014, at the Palais des Expositions in Nice as part of the upcoming “Rendezvous des Associations.”
Participation Terms
Simply send your application by email to cuisine.nissarde@ville-nice.fr, from today and before Sunday, August 31, specifying your name, surname, address, date of birth, and telephone number. You will receive confirmation of your application in return and a blank technical sheet to complete.
Then, return the technical sheet of your pissaladière along with three photos of each stage of your creation (dough, onion compote, and finalized pissaladière) before Sunday, August 31, 2014.
10 technical sheets will be preselected by a jury composed of chefs (Franck Bermond, Daniel Silvetti, David Faure…), hotel school professors (Eric Capuzzo and Thierry Patuano), elected officials, and members of the Cercle de la Capelina d’Or.
The 10 selected winners will be invited to present and have their creation tasted by the jury members on Saturday, September 13, at the Palais des Expositions during the traditional Rendezvous des Associations. The 4 best pissaladières will be selected to participate in the grand finale, which will elect the “Chef for a Day.”
For this, the candidates will undergo a public and live test (1 hour for adults, 15 minutes for children), during which they must prepare a surprise recipe from the guide of certified “Cuisine Nissarde” recipes. The jury members will then deliver their final verdict based on taste and presentation.
So, get to your keyboards and your cooking utensils to try to become “Chef for a Day!”
