With the world's most prestigious chef competitions kicking off in Turin on June 11th, you might well find yourself dreaming of winning the Bocuse d'Or one day.
Often referred to as the culinary equivalent of the Olympic Games, it's a competition that not many chefs get to win. However - for chefs wishing to showcase their skills and compete, there are plenty of other avenues to explore.
Starting with regional competitions you can work your way up to national, international and even televised ones like MasterChef.
How to Enter Chef Competitions
You'll need to submit your entry online, which will include your personal details as well as the recipe you intend to use.
Competitions are not just about your skills in the kitchen, but about how you can run a business.
