PIZZA CHEFFIN’

PIZZA CHEF of the year 2023

Recipes are coming in thick and fast from our competitors and in the next issue we will be revealing the chefs who will be competing in the finals at Pizza Pilgrims on 9 November 2023. In the meantime, here’s a reminder of this year’s sponsored categories.

Danish Crown SuperTops Category

Chorizo is a delicious pizza topping created from high-quality ingredients, delicately spiced and beechwood smoked. Pizza meatballs have a crisp surface after frying and work great as topping on a pizza.

Chefs can use either ingredient or both in their recipe, but they must be the star of the show.

Dawn Farms Sustainable Topping Category

The purpose of this new category is to elevate the importance of sustainability, by helping companies meet their sustainability goals and the needs of the flexitarian consumer.

Plant Deli Roast Chik’n Strips elevate the standard vegan chicken alternative, with zero compromise on taste.

Futura Foods YAMAS! Halloumi Category

YAMAS! Halloumi has a high melting point that delivers a unique and iconic texture, with slightly salty flavour delivery. The enticingly squeaky texture makes this cheese a must for pizza.

This is an emerging pizza ingredient that is sneaking its way onto menus… but what would you pair yours with?

Silbury FAMOUSLY Authentic Pizza Sauce Category

A lightly seasoned sauce, made from crushed tomatoes and seasoned with oregano, basil and garlic. The rich flavour from its high-quality tomatoes comes through.

The chef’s challenge is to create a pizza with flavours that perfectly compliment the delicious sauce.

Whitworth Bros. Flour Chef’s Special Category

Suitable for thin and deep-crust bases, Strong Pizza Flour produces a welldeveloped, creamy, extensible dough that holds its shape well, with an even baked colour and bright, soft, random and open crumb.

Your challenge is to create a Chef’s Special pizza, with a beautifully prepared crust and mouth-watering toppings.
