We launch the life changing cookery competition to win a prestigious three-year Specialised Chefs Scholarship with new headline sponsor Anolon on board.
Teflon™ non-stick coatings is delighted to announce the launch of its 2018 Diamond Standard Awards for amateur chefs of all ages. The cookery competition offers the chance for non-professional cooks to gain recognition for their cooking ability at home and for those attending school and catering college, the opportunity to showcase what they’ve learnt.
Launched in 2012, the Teflon™ Diamond Standard Awards has quickly assumed a prominent position and the organisers at Dupree Creative are delighted to see the competition become an annual calendar event that’s not to be missed.
The exciting cooking challenge has three categories which are:
- Keen Young Cooks 12-16 years – to bake a favourite dish
- Aspiring Student Chefs 16-19 years – to cook a game inspired signature
- Keen Home Cooks 17 years and over – to cook their signature classic
The winning student and young cook will receive a prestigious three-year Specialised Chefs Scholarship and for the home cook a bespoke cookery weekend. In addition to these prizes, bundles of Teflon™ non-stick coated cookware from the sponsors are awarded as well as cash prizes of up to £500. Joining Anolon (cookware sponsor) as category sponsors is new sponsor BergHOFF (knives sponsor) and the continued generous support of Utensa Wonderbake (bakeware sponsor) and NoStik (baking liner sponsor).
Entries are open from 6th March and can be submitted individually or via schools and colleges. Entries close on 1 November 2017 with the national final scheduled for late January 2018 at the Waitrose Cookery School, London.
