A Bridlington student has claimed first place in a prestigious international culinary competition held in Venice.
Ruby Goodens, a Level 2 Hospitality student at East Riding College, was crowned winner of the Combi Guru Challenge, a world-renowned competition hosted by Unox.
Representing East Riding College on the international stage for the second consecutive year, Ruby competed against top culinary students from across the globe.
Having secured second place in last year’s competition, she returned with determination and elevated her performance, impressing judges with her exceptional skill, creativity and professionalism.
Her beautifully executed dishes stood out among a highly competitive field, earning her the top honour and recognition as the overall winner of the challenge.
Anthony Gascoigne, Hospitality and Catering Course Team Leader at East Riding College, said: “Ruby is a well deserving winner of Combi Guru Challenge. The win is testament to her commitment and enthusiasm to developing her skills.
“She has demonstrated real resilience in competing at such a high level. The hospitality team here at Bridlington could not be prouder of her achievement.”
Ruby is currently still in Venice, enjoying her all-expenses-paid trip and experiencing Italian cuisine following her success.
