The Fueling Georgia’s Future Student Chef Competition is designed to encourage students to engage with School Nutrition Professionals and learn about the process of planning for, sourcing, and preparing school meals. Students have the opportunity to demonstrate their culinary skills in a competitive environment while gaining valuable knowledge in recipe development, food preparation, teamwork, and local food systems. In addition, this competition aims to stimulate interest in locally produced agriculture in School Nutrition Programs. The recipes will feature Georgia grown ingredients. The results are nutritious, student-inspired recipes that include local foods and are easily incorporated into school nutrition programs.
Middle School
Develop a recipe for a school meal vegetable side dish.
High School
Develop a recipe for a school meal entrée.
Competition Levels
The competition has two phases: a recipe competition followed by a cooking competition for selected finalists. This competition meets Georgia education standards and provides students with hands on learning opportunities. Many of these student developed recipes will be incorporated into school meals across Georgia.
The High School statewide winner will move on and represent Georgia at the Southeast Regional Competition.
