Kylie Leask with co-ordinator and \u00a0TAFE teacher Jason Ford (Photo: TAFE Qld South West)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p><strong>August 5, 2016<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Kingaroy RSL employee &#8211; and TAFE cooking student &#8211; Kylie Leask has earned the right to represent the region at a prestigious Iron Chef cooking competition in Brisbane.<\/p>\n<p>Five students from TAFE Queensland South West battled it out recently for a the chance to compete at the TAFE Queensland Iron Chef Cooking Competition final, and win an all-expenses-paid work experience trip to Japan.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe are excited to announce that after a gruelling day of competition, Kylie Leask, from Kingaroy, and Jemaima Gaspar, from Toowoomba, will represent the South West region, &#8221; local co-ordinator Jason Ford said.<\/p>\n<p>The competition was\u00a0announced by Iron Chef Hiroyuki Sakai in April during a live cooking demonstration in Brisbane.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cEach student had to create three dishes containing Chef Sakai\u2019s special ingredient, coconut, including a vegetarian entr\u00e9e, chicken based main, and dessert using gelatin,&#8221; Jason said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe also invited two representatives from industry to judge their dishes, provide commentary and feedback, and help prepare the students for the final competition.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Chefs Chris Clark and Rob Balderson said they were both excited and felt privileged to be part of the day and assist in the judging.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis type of competition is very intense for the level these students are at, but they handled the pressure very well which is a credit to their teachers,\u201d \u00a0Rob said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt was such a tight competition.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I thought there would be a stand out from the beginning but it twisted and changed all day, so congratulations must go to not just to the winners but to all of the student competitors.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThese students could very well be working for me one day, or I could be working for them.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>Kylie said managing her time effectively was the hardest part of the competition.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>&#8220;But I had a lot of fun, enjoyed the day, and developed new skills,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cFor the regional finals I cooked a risotto stuffed mushroom as an entr\u00e9e, a coconut chicken curry as my main, and for dessert a coconut, orange and chocolate mousse with berry compote.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe interaction with the industry experienced judges was invaluable, and I\u2019m excited to take their feedback on board for when I compete at the State final.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The final will be held in South Bank later this month.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_153868\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-153868\"
