Calling All Young Chefs! The Fifth Edition of the S.Pellegrino Young Chef Academy Competition is Now Accepting Applications

StPellegrino_header

The COVID-19 pandemic closures and restrictions inflicted a devastating impact on Canada’s culinary community and challenged the livelihoods of chefs nationwide. Unsurprisingly, the pandemic hit young chefs the hardest as many were laid off or left with job insecurity & limited opportunities due to pandemic challenges.

StPellegrino_logo_crop

As a proud supporter of the chef and restaurant community, S.Pellegrino remains committed to supporting the future of the culinary industry and is now calling on all emerging young chefs across Canada to enter the 2022/23 S.Pellegrino Young Chef Academy Regional Competition. The competition, now in its fifth year, offers young chefs an inspiring and educational experience that provides national visibility and professional prestige.

“The competition and the S.Pellegrino Young Chef Academy support the culinary community and chefs of tomorrow by offering mentorship, guidance and supporting creativity and inclusivity in the world of gastronomy,” says Paul De Larzac, President of Nestle Waters Canada.

Over the course of the Regional Competition, the finalists will take part in live cook-offs in front of a panel of esteemed Canadian jurors who will provide feedback based on unrivaled technical skill, genuine creativity, and strong personal belief along with the candidate’s ability to create positive change in society through food. 

The winner from the Regional Competition will go on to compete in the Global Grand Finale in 2023, the biggest international young chef competition to date, and officially be in the running for the coveted title of the ‘S.Pellegrino Young Chef Academy Award 2022-23’. The international competition allows the next generation of chefs to make their mark in the world of gastronomy and give them a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to cook for some of the world’s most renowned chefs and have access to a global culinary community.

Both the Regional and Global components provide emerging chefs with a unique opportunity to learn, interact and be mentored by esteemed chefs. Last year, North America was represented by Canadian chef Rafael Covarrubias, from Hexagon in Oakville, during the Grand Finale. Chef Rafael placed a strong 5th across a competitive set of top young chefs and had the chance to be mentored by one of Calgary’s best-known Chefs, Connie Desousa as well as the opportunity to attend global workshops and network with Michelin chefs Massimo Bottura & Enrico Bartolini. 

The competition remains to be a highlight in the gastronomy world and is an initiative of S.Pellegrino’s Young Chef Academy, an inspiring international community which aims to identify, connect and nurture the next generation of chefs, no matter where they are from, their gender or their ethnicity.

Young chefs between 18-30 years of age with at least one year of restaurant experience can apply for the S.Pellegrino Young Chef Academy Regional Competition 2022/23 online at www.sanpellegrinoyoungchefacademy.com from now until May 31, 2022. Chefs that apply will need to provide personal and professional information and submit the recipe for their signature dish which should communicate their personal vision, unique skills, and creativity.

Ah-So Canned Wines

Ah-So wines are the exception to the rule of quality canned wine; because good wine always starts in the vineyard. Each can is the result of the careful cultivation of all these vines. Ah-So is produced in the Navarre region in Spain, in the family vineyards of the Lopez de Lacalle family. The vineyards are situated in the town of Artazu between 450 and 500 metres above sea level on clay-limestone soils.

Ah-So wines are 100% Grenache and 100% organic, produced at the estate and harvested by hand without the use of herbicides or pesticides, to preserve the environment. To ensure the quality of the wine, the Lopez de Lacalle family purchased a canning machine from Colorado and shipped it to Navarre to allow them to can the wines directly to the estate. This is essential to preserve the freshness and authenticity of their terroir.

Ferme Pré Rieur: Organic & Nutritious Ingredients

For healthier and more eco-friendly cooking ingredients, think about Ferme Pré Rieur inc., located in St-Jean-Port-Joli, Quebec. Its producers/suppliers located in Côte-du-Sud, Beauce and Lotbinière, will make you discover beautiful sunflower fields. It processes and markets under the brand name Le Pré Rieur: organic oleic sunflower oil, peas, and grain products all Ecocert Canada certified.

FermePrérieur_PE2021_53194152_1519470631531273_6377071641855262720_n

ORGANIC OLEIC SUNFLOWER OIL

The oleic sunflower is nothing like the classic sunflower. It provides a much superior oil. Organic and non-GMO sunflower seeds are grown without any pesticides. The extraction of sunflower oil to make a high-end oil by cold pressing the flower is a mechanical process without heat and solvent, carried out just before putting it on the market, which gives it an exceptional taste of freshness. These conditions allow the nutritional values of sunflower oil to be fully maintained. Rich in Omega 9 (81.63%), its high thermal resistance (16.31 consecutive hours at 110 degrees Celsius in the laboratory), and its very delicate taste, give it a great cooking versatility at high temperatures (without risking oxidizing it) while offering many delicious options when used cold. With this oil on the menu, Quebec’s local food is gaining prestige.

Gourmet tips

This oil is easy to digest and is even more versatile than olive oil and contains up to half as much saturated fat. Its exquisite taste (sweet flavour of freshly shelled sunflower seeds) allows for salty or sweet culinary creations, which more bitter, pungent or astringent oils do not offer. So, here are some suggestions to lend a delicate flavour to your dishes, improve smoothness while adding a touch of sun and health to your menu:   

  • Cold: dressings, marinades, mayonnaises.
  • On the stove: braising, browning, roasting, simmering.
  • Baking: bakery and pastry products (muffins, pie dough, cakes, cookies).

Cosmetics field

Its high level of vitamin E (33%) also favours its use in the cosmetics and soap industry. Very soon, the company will jointly launch with Culture Sauvage a by-product named, Sunflower Okara, to add exfoliants in cosmetics and soaps; it will be one of the few products of plants and organic origin for these markets. Stay tuned!

WHOLE YELLOW PEAS (ORGANIC)

The Ferme Pré Rieur also specializes in another product which is also very rare in Quebec. Organic whole yellow peas are rich in fibre, protein, and nutrients, thus responding to a trend in favour of plant-based protein. What’s better than a traditional pea soup or having peas served in salads?

Formats : 1 kg, 5 kg, 10 kg & 20 kg

YELLOW PEA FLOUR

Besides being good for your health (high source of iron, fibre, and potassium), this flour is one of the most proteined on the market. Practical and versatile, Le Pré Rieur organic yellow pea flour gives a roasted taste that goes well with coffee, chocolate, and hazelnuts. In combination with sugar and vanilla, it is exquisite and at the same time allows to subtly add legumes to the menu.

Use this flour to add texture and flavour to your recipes and make them more nutritious. It replaces 50% of wheat flour or other flour with gluten (wheat, spelt, oats, corn).

Formats : 500 g, 1 kg, 5 kg & 20 kg

Gutsy Kombucha: An Organic Kombucha Powered by Plants

GutsyKombucha_PE2021_Bannière

Considering the many trends for well-being and a greater general awareness of our health, we are increasingly looking for food products that taste great and are also good for us. So, it’s not surprising that kombucha has invaded the beverage market. Made from green or black tea, slightly carbonated, with a sweet and sour taste, kombucha is a fermented drink packed with probiotics, organic acids and digestive enzymes that provide many benefits to the body.

Among the contributors to this growing market, there is Gutsy Kombucha. Founded in 2017, the Montreal-based company has become a leader thanks to its ecological philosophy and its low-sugar, long-fermenting recipe.

GutsyKombucha_PE2021_Sandbanks-67

Among the contributors to this growing market, there is Gutsy Kombucha. Founded in 2017, the Montreal-based company has become a leader thanks to its ecological philosophy and its low-sugar, long-fermenting recipe.

It all started in Nicaragua

It all started when Pierrich Picard went on a surfing trip to Nicaragua. Searching for peace amongst the loud noises of tourism, he eventually found himself in a little town called Gigante. This is where he discovered Party Wave, a small seaside cafe where he tried his first glass of kombucha. Becoming friends with the owner, Robert, he shared with Pierrich all his knowledge about the fermentation process necessary to prepare this effervescent drink. Upon returning to Montreal, he was happy to see that kombucha was available, except it was nothing like the one tasted in South America. Unhappy with what he found on the shelves, Pierrich suggests to Robert to start their own brand. Melanie, an experienced naturopath that’s been practising for more than 10 years, then joins the team to create the first kombucha powered by plants. Through this journey and these friendships, Gutsy was finally born, a healthy kombucha, low in sugar and powered by plants with a thousand virtues!

A healthy and flavoursome kombucha

With the mission of brewing the healthiest and tastiest kombucha on the market, each flavour is made only from organic and raw ingredients, no preservatives or additives, and never filtered or pasteurized, so it keeps all its benefits. Gutsy kombucha also undergoes an extended brewing period of three to four months (as the old fashion way) to create a better, more nutritious product.

A company that cares about the environment 

To minimize its ecological footprint, and since recycling was deficient at that time, Gutsy decided to initially offer its kombucha on tap by building some great relationships with local retailers in order to install filling stations in Quebec’s zero-waste stores. The company quickly became the largest on tap kombucha producer in Quebec and that over 90% of which is now consumed in refilled bottles. With the growth of the company, Gutsy often received demands for a smaller and on-the-go format. Searching for the best fit, the company decided that aluminum cans were the best format for the product because they provide a more stable environment for kombucha and are more likely recycled and more recyclable compared to glass bottles. The can format therefore corresponded to the company’s core values while providing the same great taste that customers have been used to on tap. 

GutsyKombucha_PE2021_gutsy quarantaine-40

More than 550 retailers

Today, after four years of passion for this fermented drink, Gutsy continues to innovate while keeping in mind its goal of having a positive impact on health and the environment. Its kombucha is available in eight unique flavours in more than 550 stores in Quebec, Ontario and New Brunswick, of which more than 150 are bulk sales locations. More recently, the company has launched two sugar-free varieties to offer an even healthier beverage. Gutsy is also giving 1% of its sales in cans to organizations that have a positive impact on the environment. And that’s just the beginning!
