A BRADFORD College student has been selected as a national finalist in the Wing Yip Oriental Cookery Young Chef of the Year competition.

Craig Foulger (pictured), 23, will go head-to-head against 14 others to cook a two-course meal against the clock under the scrutiny of a professional judging panel, at the final, held at University College, Birmingham, on April 5.

He is in the running to win a trip to Hong Kong where they will sample culinary delights, work in Michelin-starred restaurants and explore the vibrant street food scene.
