Pictured left, 2011 BC Junior Chef of the year, Jasper Cruickshank. Below is a message from Corey Jessup, President of the Victoria Branch of the Canadian Culinary Federation:
Hello Everyone,
Yesterday (Saturday, March 12, 2011) we held the 2011 BC Junior COTY competition and from what I saw we have some great young talent in all regions of this province. We would first like to start out by thanking Gilbert Noussitou and Camosun College for in only three days notice being able to accommodate the competition and pulling it off as if it was planned to be hosted there from day one.
Competitions like these would never be possible without support from our industry partners so thanks goes out to InterCity Packers for contributing the cash prizes and Certified Angus beef chuck flats and top sirloin for the black boxes. Sysco Victoria for contributing the whole Dungeness crab, Coho salmon, Little Qualicum blue claire cheese, wild mushroom blend, parsnips, golden beets and sunflower shoots for each black box. Ronald St Pierre for securing the wine for the peoples tasting table I know they were very grateful for that and Spatula Media for the amazing trophies, plaques and posters for all the competitors as keepsakes.
But without further adieu we would like to acknowledge the winners of this years event with the first place finisher going on to represent the province of BC at the National Junior COTY competition June 2011 in Vancouver.
1st place - Jasper Cruickshank, Vancouver
2nd place - Jenna Angle, Okanagan
3rd place - John Lance, Victoria
We would also like to thank the judges from this years event in no particular order, Bruno Marti, Willi Franz, JC Feliella, Leslie Stav, David Lang, Rick Choy, Terry Lockhart Rust, Gilbert Noussitou, Jeffrey Brothers and Dr Jane Ruddick for assisting in all the administration details the day of the event.
On behalf of the Victoria & North Island Branches
