Chef Network invites you to experience a professional kitchen during
Open Kitchen Week, 6th to 12th of November
Have you ever wondered what it is really like behind the doors of your favourite restaurant kitchen? Ever thought about what it might be like to turn a passion for food into a career? Ever considered if cooking as a profession could give you the flexibility and creative outlet you crave?
Chef Network, the professional network of chefs across the island of Ireland, is inviting you to find out.
For one week, professional kitchens all over the country are opening their doors and inviting members of the public to go ‘behind the pass’ to find out what it is really like to don the whites and work as a cook, baker, or even chocolatier. They want to dispel the stereotypical images of the chef and show that kitchens are positive, creative and professional workplaces with a world of opportunity for fulfilling careers.
From 6th-12th November 2023, more than 50 professional kitchens across Ireland and Northern Ireland, will throw open their doors to students and career changers interested in finding out what is really involved in a career as a chef, or to parents, teachers and educators who are curious about the opportunities in professional cookery.
This is year one of this exciting new initiative. Over 300 visit slots are available to book in a huge variety of kitchens from fine dining restaurants, hotels, and local cafes, to bakeries and chocolate makers, as well as the workplace kitchens of tech giants, and even castles!
Open Kitchens will welcomes guests from all walks of life and backgrounds, of all ages (16yrs & above) and experience levels – if you have an interest in a cooking career, step through the kitchen door from 6th -12th November and find out what it is all about.
