Cork Institute of Technology culinary student Danay Berhane has been named the winner of the 2019 Dairy Chef contest in Paris.
The competition was organised by the Embassy of France in Dublin in partnership with the Higher Education Authority (HEA), the National Dairy Council (NDC) and the French Dairy Council (Cniel).
Culinary students from colleges in both France and Ireland took part in the contest, creating three-course meals that celebrated Irish and/or French dairy produce.
"A Pleasure And An Honour"
Irish Ambassador to France Patricia O’Brien commented, "It was a pleasure and an honour for the Irish Embassy in Paris to host the FICAHT Dairy Chef Reception this year and it was a particular delight for me to be one of the judges of the Dairy Chef competition. I was very impressed with the professionalism and talent of the wonderful young Irish and French chefs involved."
