AFW calls for chef and waiter teams to enter 2010 Gastronomy Team of the Year

10th February 2010, 12:04pm

The Academy of Food & Wine (AFW) is calling for chef and waiter teams to enter its 2010 Gastronomy Team of the Year competition, which seeks to recognise great teamwork between front-of-house and the kitchen brigade.

The competition, sponsored by Discover the Origin, seeks to find the chef/waiter team that submits the best two-course menu with matching wines. The menu must make use of parma ham and parmigiano-Reggiano cheese, matched with wines from Burgundy, Port and Douro Valley wines, which are part of the Discover the Origin PDO campaign.

The first round consists of a questionnaire, from which successful teams will be chosen to submit their menu with wines. To find the ultimate winner, the best teams from five regions will be invited to a 'cook and serve' final at Westminster Kingsway College, London, on 19 July 2010.

Entry forms can be downloaded at www.afws.co.uk or contact the Academy of Food & Wine on 020 8661 4646. All entries must be received by 26 March 2010.
