Renowned Indian chef Sanjeev Kapoor is coming to New Zealand where he will be one of the judges at the fourth Australasia Tapas Competition, to be held on August 22 at Ignite Colleges.

Sanjeev Kapoor is a household name in Indian kitchens all over the globe. The first chef in the world to launch his own food channel, he’s on the Forbes India Celebrity 100 List, the Reader’s Digest list of ‘100 of India’s most trusted persons’ and has been named ‘Best Chef of India’ by the Indian government. A multi-award-winning chef extraordinaire, Padma Shri Sanjeev Kapoor is India’s brightest gastronomic star.

This is the fourth year the Australasia Tapas Competition has been held in NZ. Jasbir (former Ignite Colleges General Manager and current Vice President of NZ Chefs Association) first launched the championship in 2018, after working at Barcelona’s Disfrutar and competing in the World Tapas Competition herself in 2017.

“This is an incredible opportunity for New Zealand and Australian chefs. Not only does it give them something to work towards and look forward to, but it’s a chance to make their mark as chefs not just here, but internationally too.”

Competitors will be judged on originality, flavour, presentation, and business potential by a distinguished panel of chefs and foodies, including multi-award-winning Indian celebrity chef Sanjeev Kapoor. Tapas experts direct from Spain will also be among the judging line-up.  Event sponsors include E-Spain, Ignite Colleges, Great Taste NZ, UNOX, Nestle, and Hospitality Training Trust (HTT).
