Australian National Culinary Teams need your support

In November 2022 the ACF National Youth and Community Catering teams were selected to compete in the Villeroy & Boch Culinary World Cup, the first international competition for Australia since Covid-19.

This is a great honour and is based on the team’s previous records. The competition is a premier event organised by the Vatel Chefs Club of Luxembourg and attracts top teams from all over the world!

This year the journey for gold begins for the squad which comprises ACF member chefs from all around Australia who have exhibited excellence in culinary skills, thanks to the support from their respective employers, parents and training providers.

These chefs have committed to representing Australia. They are required to give up many hours of their time to achieve the highest standards possible and do not receive any remuneration for it.

We have commenced fundraising and are seeking your support to raise $150,000 for the teams and support crew to compete in Luxembourg and for expenses in the lead-up to the World Cup, as the squad will be meeting regularly for training in cities across Australia.

We have several fundraising events set up:
