First place (Junior) was won by Christo Pretorius, 1000 Hills Chefs School past pupil. This completes our hatric of wins for the Unilever Chef of the Year competition - 2008, 2009 and 2010.
Amy Edwards and Whitney Kilfoil also won the Sunday Times Chef School Challenge bringing home the trophy for 2nd place! Their choice of menu was a South African theme, and received great praise from critics.
Our ever increasing awards shelf is a true testament to the caliber of teaching received by our students. We continue to consistently rank in the top of all competitions we have entered and this is truly an achievement to be proud of - and we most certainly are!
