Ora King, which supplies salmon to restaurants, has launched a chef's bursary, a $10,000 scholarship for a chef to travel to a culinary destination of his or her choice to give them the opportunity to develop their expertise and experience.
''It's vital for any great chef to actively seek out different food flavours, tastes and techniques, and what better way to do this than by experiencing them first-hand,'' general manager food services and marketing Jemma McCowan says.
Chefs can request an information pack outlining full details and how to apply by emailing bursary@orakingsalmon.co.nz.
Applicants need to submit a proposal outlining where they want to visit, the itinerary content, and why.
A letter of recommendation from their head chefs or mentors must also be included.
Applications close on Friday, February 28, with the winner announced in mid-March and travel set to take place soon after.
