Commenting on both students success, Tom Hardiman, catering and culinary skills instructor with National Learning Network in Tralee said, “We are so proud of Anne Marie and Erin. They both worked so hard on creating their dishes and practicing them. They are both extremely talented and have a passion for cooking.”

Anne Marie said; “I’m thrilled to bits with the achievement and I’ve practised a lot to get to this position.”

Erin also said she was delighted with the medal, but this wasn’t her first win: “I was in one competition before this at the county fair where I got two firsts, two seconds and an honourable mention. I got the passion for cooking from my nan Eileen.”

The Chef Ireland is an international three-day culinary competition that rewards practical professional cookery and restaurant services.

The competition which is co-ordinated by the Panel of Chefs of Ireland and run under the World Association of Cooks Societies is designed to showcase the creativity, skill and imagination of Ireland’s chefs.
