Step Up You Female Chefs
Young female chefs are especially encouraged to apply as this year, in order to increase the representation of female chefs in the S.Pellegrino Young Chef 2019/20, each pool of Regional Finalists will include at least three women. If there is an insufficient number of women applying to the competition in a region, male candidates will take the remaining spots.
