Chef Factor is
back for 2011!
L-R: Sully, last year's winner Christine Crowley, Rachel Allen and Cully. |
Colum O'Sullivan, of Cully & Sully, has been in touch with the news that the Chef Factor is to return this autumn.
"We’re proud to say that its return has
been widely tipped as one of the hottest events in food to watch out for this
year. The prize is the same as last year- a place on January’s coveted 12
week Ballymaloe cookery course including accommodation, together worth over
€12,000 euro and will include two weeks with myself and Cully to learn the
ways of the food business. Lat year's winner Christine is doing really well now, running her own tearooms and everything!"
"Again we’re
really trying to get across that Chef Factor is for anybody who wants to
learn how to cook and develop their own career in food. You don’t need to
be a good cook to enter as the prize is professional training in one of the
world’s leading cookery schools. We are simply looking for someone who really
wants to win this once in a lifetime opportunity. You can enter anything
you like-from beans on toast to
a risotto, from steak to a cake!"
"We are also
trying to remind entrants that Chef Factor is not all about online votes, as
while three finalists will be determined by public vote, two wildcards will be
handpicked by Cully and I to go through irrespective of votes and all finalists
will be on an equal footing at the final. Everybody stands a great chance of
winning the top prize!! Entrants are accepted from September 5th, 2011 and the
winner is expected to be chosen in Ballymaloe on Saturday the 26th of November."
Entering is the
same as last year- EASY PEASY! All
you have to do is upload a simple photo of a dish with the words “Cully &
Sully” somewhere in the image and submit this to cheffactor.ie along with a brief explanation of the
dish and the reason why you deserve to win!
