AN INCREDIBLE opportunity
for a young chef is up for grabs for the first time, with a young Australian or
New Zealander being given the chance to spend eight months next year studying
and working in some of the finest kitchens in Spain, courtesy of the Spanish
government.
The successful applicant will begin with an
intensive, four-week, Spanish-language course and three weeks’ training in
Spanish culture, gastronomic history and produce, before a six-month stint in a
restaurant. Last
year’s participants included elBulli, Arzak, El Celler de Can Roca, Martin
Berasategui, Akelarre and Mugaritz. The Training of Young Professionals in Spanish
Gastronomy program was created in 2007 by the Spanish Institute for Foreign
Trade in response to the growing international influence of Spanish cuisine
that, in recent years, has become a leader for creativity and innovation in
culinary techniques, raising awareness of the huge diversity and quality of
Spain’s most emblematic products.
This
is the first time a participant will be chosen from Australia. Applicants
must be under 30, with at least three years’ training or experience.
