The YCO2024 competition will give you the opportunity to use F+B Engine from Kitchen CUT to create recipes, sub recipes, track nutritional information and allergens as well as a whole host of other features.
Kitchen CUT – an Introduction from John Wood
Kitchen CUT Co-Founder, Michelin Starred Chef and YCO 2024 Judge, John Wood runs through the basics of the Kitchen CUT system and demonstrates just how simple it is to use.
Why use Kitchen CUT?
By creating your recipes in Kitchen CUT, costings, allergens, nutritional and calorific data will all be automated.
We should also point out that there will be 20 EXTRA POINTS available for those competitors that complete recipes inside Kitchen CUT before the designated cut off date of 12th January 2024. In previous years there has been just half a point between some of the top competitors. Every mark counts so it’s essential that you familiarise yourself with the system.
Username and Password
Your Kitchen CUT username and password will be sent to you in the coming weeks. Please be reassured that your login is specific to you, your college and your country. No competitor or mentor will have access to the accounts of other competitors or mentors.
NB: There is a 24 hour expiry on the login in link from time you receive it. However, you can still access the system by logging in as per the email instructions and requesting a new password.
Step by Step Guides
We have created the following Step by Step Guides to help you understand how the system works, from how to create a recipe to adding new products. Before getting started, please take a look at these in order to familiarise yourself with the system.
Training Videos
We recommend you watch the following training videos from John Wood, guiding you through the steps involved in Adding Products, Recipe Writing and Menu Creation.
Free training webinars
In addition to the above resources, John Wood will be hosting a series of training webinars for competitors and mentors over the course of the next few weeks. If you’d like to reserve your space, click on the relevant date below.
