In prime place
Vice Principal Karyn Godfrey said:
“We are always hearing that there is a massive demand for chefs and trained catering staff from the hospitality industry and we have 45 full-time students here being ‘prepped’ to step up to those roles.”
Head of Catering Vasileios Fragkakis added:
“We’re rightly proud of our team here at Central Beds College and look forward to them being recognised by the Craft Guild of Chefs in April and to hosting the British Culinary Championship in May. It shows that Central Beds College is in prime place on the menu when students are making career choices.”
Daniel beats the best
Daniel Begley of Luton is aged only 18 but won through to the final eight of a Lumina New Zealand Lamb Challenge against 196 full-time professional chefs. Daniel’s delicious dish so impressed the judges they pulled him through to the final stages against experienced chefs twice his age.
He works at the White Horse, St Albans when not studying for his Level 3 (A Level equivalent courses) and hopes one day to live up to his hero celebrity chef Marcus Wareing.
Said Chef Lecturer Andrew Cluskey:
“It is an outstanding achievement for one so young, he is a great example of what can be achieved when someone finds their calling.”
