Cooking for Australia

Move over "Iron Chef" meet Suwanna Rattananikom.

Suwanna is representing Australia in Commercial Cookery at this year's International WorldSkills Competition.

Suwanna's skills are already taking her to the top as she works for the Four Seasons Hotel in Sydney.

One of the tasks she's performing to win involves four days of "Mystery Box" menus. Given a set of proteins and limited ingredients she must cook three courses off the top of her head.

She has a passion for cooking and a flair for artistic detail in an industry where presentation is as important as taste.

    "Look out London here comes Australia" are Kate Crocker's words as she competes in the Restaurant Services competition at WorldSkills. She originally decided to compete at the WorldSkills to compete with her sister who came third in a previous year and now that she has made it this far has sparked jealousy and pride from her. 


    Choosing to do Hospitality in Year 11 she spent one night a week at Tafe going over the basics such as Silverware and table setting. It was from here that her passion grew and love for the industry. She warns that people shouldn't underestimate the trade. It is so much more than waiting tables as she puts it. It is about engaging and working with diners to give them a great experience in learn from what they might want to share. 

    In the future she would like to work on an Island and even open her own restaurant with her chef friend Matt. If Kate wins WorldSkills she admits that the first thing she will do is most likely cry.
