The Alumni The Fonterra Proud to be a Chef family continues to grow, with approximately 150 chefs being involved over the 13 years it has been running. Fonterra has created a Facebook page to keep in touch with past finalists and it is so thrilling to see the chefs succeeding in their chosen career. Some successes achieved since the 2012 program include: Colin Wilson, Melbourne 2010 Named the Victorian Apprentice of the Year 2011. Kate D’Aquino, Canberra 2011 Highest Points Winner at the 2011 HTN Apprentice Chef Culinary Competition Grand Final.
Sarah Chislett, Bendigo 2011 Spoke to the 2012 group on arrival and shared how to get the most out of the Fonterra Proud to be a Chef event. Sarah’s enthusiasm and insights were appreciated and she shared how she was able to gain additional work experience, just by asking different chefs if it was "OK" to spend some time in their kitchens.
“ Being selected to take part in the competition was rewarding in itself, but it was also an incredible experience which gave me exposure to the whole spectrum of the industry.” KERYN VAN KEMPEN
Grant Page, Sunshine Coast 2012 Conducted a cooking demonstration on the Fonterra stand at Brisbane Fine Foods in March. It did not take long for Grant to take control of the microphone and he shared his knowledge with many at the trade show.
Fonterra is also inviting past finalists to increase their skill set with us. Keryn van Kempen, Sunshine Coast, Winner 2011 Spoke at the 2012 Fonterra Proud to be a Chef Gala Dinner in front of 90 people. Public speaking can be quite a daunting experience but Keryn was an absolute natural.
