Recently an exciting and innovative educational platform has been launched, named Shoot the Chef. Shoot the Chef is a virtual educational environment designed for those schools involved in culinary arts. Visiting www.shootthechef.com, you will find a wide range of culinary training videos and other digital materials, all linked to a European competence grid. Hospitality schools from around the world participate in Shoot the Chef.

Renowned hospitality schools have initiated Shoot the Chef, to include Hotelschool Bad Gleichenberg (Austria), Hotelschool Koksijde (Belgium), the HRC Culinary Academy (Bulgaria) Maribor College ( Slovenia), Coleg Llandrillo (Wales) and training & career development company HRC International (Netherlands).   

 “Shoot the Chef is like You Tube for hospitality schools” says Dr. Shyam Patiar, Director at Coleg Llandrillo,: “Chef instructors can upload their own class materials and broadcast this to their students and the entire Shoot the Chef audience from other schools. A great way to learn from each other.”

Shoot the chef never stops cooking... As internet never sleeps, the videos and learning materials are available 24/7, 365 days per year. Culinary students and employees in the hotel & catering industry can use the platform for self study at home.

Shoot the Chef provides international exposure in a fun way. Students and instructors can view how schools around the world interpret Culinary Arts or view how local and national dishes are made. The platform is the result of a 2-year project supported by the Leonardo da Vinci program.

“Shoot the Chef is a work in progress” adds Director Mr. Raf Sonneville of Belgium’s leading hotel school Koksijde. “New content will be uploaded on an ongoing basis. We look forward welcoming many more participating schools from around the world. Interested schools can subscribe for free until the end of 2010.
