Toque d’Or champ to offer top tips
The hangout will be held on 26th January at 5pm.
Last year’s Nestlé Professional Toque d’Or champion, Katie Blundell, and finalist, Olivia Cartlidge, will be joining an online hangout to help registered students and their lecturers prepare for the entry challenge. The pair will take the attendees through their first-hand experiences, from how the competition has already supported their career development to their top tips for making this year’s entries stand out.
‘Gain new perspectives’
Louise Bawden, senior events and strategic partnership manager for Nestlé Professional, who will be hosting the session, said: “Our online hangout is a brilliant opportunity for students and lecturers to ask questions, gain new perspectives and get fully prepared ahead of the Toque d’Or 2026 entry challenge. It will be a relaxed and informal environment, making it an unmissable event for those who have registered and want to excel in the competition.”
The hangout will be held on 26th January at 5pm. All registered students and lecturers can sign up for the session here.
