Aspiring chefs – you can win an all-inclusive bursary
We have seen South Africa’s most trusted and loved kitchen companion unearth Mzansi’s next top cooking star through its culinary show, Colour Your Plate with KOO. Now, the heritage brand is on the search to find South Africa’s next rising chef.
Aspiring cooks who are passionate about all things cuisine stand a chance to walk away with one of four, all-inclusive, culinary bursaries – courtesy of KOO. The winning rising chef will have an opportunity to kickstart their culinary career at the prestigious Jackie Cameron Chef School for one year and will be mentored by the country’s top chef and Colour Your Plate with KOO judge Reuben Riffel. The international renowned chef will award the bursary recipients with a 6 months training course at one of his esteemed kitchens.
“We are so excited to, once again, embark on this journey to uncover our country’s rising cooking stars through KOO’s all-inclusive bursary programme. For generations, we have been in the hearts and kitchens of many South Africans and this initiative is an opportunity for us to give back and empower young, aspiring chefs who have an innate passion for the hospitality and culinary industry.
