Angelo Scirocco is passionate about sharing SA cuisine with the world, and has been selected to represent Africa in an international competition, writes Katlego Mkhwanazi.
Angelo Scirocco has been selected among 1 000 entries to represent Africa, in the Africa-Middle East region, at the San Pellegrino Young Chef 2015 competition.
For the first time ever, the San Pellegrino Young Chef 2015 award, which scouts for hot new talent from around the world, was open to chefs in Africa. Cape Town-based chef Angelo Scirocco (25) stood out from over 1 000 competition entries and was selected to represent Africa, in the Africa-Middle East region, at the prestigious competition.
The grand final will be held in Milan, Italy, on June 26.
Scirocco is a sous chef at Chefs Warehouse in Cape Town and comes from a long line of cooks. He spent most of his life in restaurants.
Scirocco is ready to take on new ventures in the culinary world and believes winning an award such as this one, will be the perfect springboard for him. “If you win this award you will be recognised globally for the rest of your life.”
The public can vote for their favourite creation by the chefs and designers via Vogue.
Voting will be possible until June 25 at 12pm CET.
