NC Jr. Chef
NC FCCLA is excited to partner with the NC Department of Public Instruction and the NC Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services on the North Carolina Jr. Chef Competition!
The North Carolina Jr. Chef Competition (NCJCC) seeks student created and tested recipes for school meals. The goal of the NC Jr. Chef Competition is to inspire students to be involved in the development of healthier eating habits, especially when it comes to school meals. In addition, the intent of the competition is to inspire the next generation of culinary professionals, stimulate interest in locally produced agriculture, provide nutrition education, and ultimately increase consumption of healthy school meals.
The NCJCC will recognize students for their ability to work as members of a team to demonstrate valuable skills in recipe development, food preparation, marketing, public presentation, organization, and local food systems. The NCJCC consists of two parts: 1) a recipe contest and 2) cook-off. Student teams must develop a recipe that meets the guidelines to submit for the NCJCC recipe contest. During the NCJCC cook-off, finalist teams must prepare, cook and plate their recipe and present (2) plates of their prepared recipe to judges.
