UHI Perth Students step up in support of POAP
Students at UHI Perth Food Studies and Hospitality department are again set to work alongside both celebrity and leading local chefs at this year’s two day Perthshire On A Plate food and drink showcase.
Tutors and students play a pivotal role each year at the cookery theatre providing valuable support both on stage and behind the scenes.
Clive Lamb, lecturer in professional cookery at the college, said around eight students at various levels of their studies had signed up to rub shoulders with some of the best in the business.
“We’re all looking forward to being a key part of this annual festival,” he said.
“These two days are inspiring for the students. Working alongside local chefs they know of and television personalities they see on screen is tremendous experience for them.”
Students have worked alongside celebrities such as Rosemary Shraeger, Gino D’Acampo, Nick Nairn, Tony Singh, Phil Vickery, and Paul Rankin over the years – an exciting and rewarding experience.
Neil Mugg, Chef Lecturer, Hospitality & Food Studies: “This provides added value to UHI Perth’s practical skills training and offers experience that is invaluable in preparation for the workplace and also help build valuable connections,” said Neil.
Students involved appreciate the hard work involved but love the chance to work with experienced and celebrity chefs and pick up tips and ideas from them.
Vicki Unite of POAP said the support from the college students had proved “invaluable” each year.
“We honestly couldn’t manage without this amazing team,” she said. “It would be impossible to deliver the festival at the high standard we do without their invaluable on-stage and behind-the-scenes support, which begins long before the festival itself.
“Everyone involved from the College works tirelessly to support
our featured chefs throughout the two-day festival and ensure a seamless first class demonstrations programme. Their professionalism, enthusiasm, obvious enjoyment and hard work is a reflection of the training they receive at UHI Perth and we’re delighted and extremely grateful to have them play a key role again in 2023.”
