Competition
The Federation of Chefs Scotland is a national member of the World Association of Chefs Societies (WACS). WACS have currently over ninety member country associations representing over 10 million chefs worldwide and are involved in culinary competitions all over the world.
We believe that competitions play a fundamental role in raising the standards within the industry and in encouraging new innovative styles of service and presentation, and fostering the development of nutritionally and economically sound presentations. All of the competitions that we are involved with are judged using WAC’s criteria ensuring the highest and most consistent judging standards.
On this page you will find information on current competitions and some hints and tips on competing.








Gourmet Classic are REAL wines specially created for cooking. They are cheaper because we do not pay duty on them. They are of consistently high quality and are used by some of the top chefs in the country (see our endorsement by the Craft Guild of Chef's and others). Professional chefs can choose standard Dry, Red or White, or The Chef's Premier versions (single varietal cooking wines for premier dishes) - Cabernet Sauvignon or Chardonnay. Gourmet Classic products are also available to retail customers at supermarkets and other convenient outlets.To make home cooked dishes even tastier, ready made jus is available in red (beef) and white (chicken) flavours - a perfect complement to Gourmet Classic
