Alumnus Joshua Ross Wins Chef Competition

Diplôme Avancé Culinaire Cuisine Alumnus
Bellamy's by Logan Brown 
Head Chef


Five of Wellington‘s top young chefs competed for the title of Jeune Chef des Rôtisseurs New Zealand and for the chance to take part in the international young chefs' competition. After 4 hours of preparing and serving three courses from a mystery box of ingredients revealed to them only at the start of the day.

The competition was held at Le Cordon Bleu New Zealand and run in conjunction with international culinary group Chaîne des Rôtisseurs. The five young chefs that took part were from Bellamy's by Logan Brown, Hippopotamus, Artisan at Bolton Hotel, The Wellington Club and Wharekauhau Country Estate. Margins for the competitors were very tight with only seven points separating the winner and the fifth place.

Le Cordon Bleu is proud to announce that Alumnus Joshua Ross won the competition. Joshua is thrilled and delighted by his success and is looking forward to taking part in the international competition which is scheduled for 2022 – covid permitting.
