GET CHEFFIN’ PIZZA CHEF of the year 2023

With five sponsored categories, this year’s competition is set to be hotly contested. There’s still time to register, but hurry to www.papaindustryawards.co.uk as the closing date is fast approaching.

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 and delivers an authentic taste of Italy.

Your challenge is to create a pizza with flavours that perfectly complement 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.

Where and when?

As revealed in the previous issue, the finals will be at an exciting new location, courtesy of our friends at Pizza Pilgrims.

Taking place at their Camden store, finalists will be preparing their entries in a first-class professional kitchen.

The finals are on 9 November 2023, meaning there’s an added incentive to enter, as all finalists will be invited to the PAPA Awards Dinner that evening, where the winners will be revealed.
