The Roux Scholarship is a unique competition for chefs under 30 who are working as chefs in the UK. The competition element is tough: it is based on technical skill, a strong palate and deep appreciation and understanding of the history of classical cooking.
However, the competition is only the start. What happens next is what really matters. The winning prize is a 3-month stage at any 3 Michelin star restaurant in the world. All expenses paid. A life-changing experience that enables the winner to see up close the inner workings of the greatest restaurants of the day.
Entrants must be in full time employment as a chef in the UK and be aged 22 or above, but no older than 30 on 1st February 2015. They have until midnight on Friday 30th January 2015 to submit a recipe to serve four people using:
Two whole guinea fowl with or without giblets, weighing anywhere between 1.2kg – 1.6 kg plus 200g chicken livers, trimmed; served together, plated and accompanied by two garnishes. One garnish must include spinach leaves and the other to be a garnish of your choice. A sauce must accompany the dish.
Michel Roux Jr comments:
“Guinea fowl is one of the most delicious treats when cooked with care and imagination, likewise the chicken livers can be an extravagance or disaster! I can’t wait to see what the chefs are going to come up with. We are looking for an imaginative recipe, respecting the ingredients, delivering flavour and flair.”
