Hangout with the Toque d’Or 2025 Panel for an Insider Guide to This Year's Competition
Nestlé Professional invited all registered students and lecturers to an exclusive online Hangout session to help them successfully navigate this year’s Toque d’Or entry challenge.
The informal session, led by Camila Cabral, strategic partnerships and events planning lead at Nestle Professional, featured a special talk from last year’s back-of-house winner and 2025 judge, Geraldine. She shared invaluable insights including her experience during the competition, how it has benefitted her career so far, and her top tips for success.
Attendees also heard from Nestlé Professional’s development chef Paul Hawkins, and coffee specialists Aaron Dunn and Jo Walsh. The trio, who are judging this year’s entries, shared practical advice on how students can successfully complete their entry challenges.
The Hangout session took place on Wednesday 22 January at 5pm. Attendees had the unique opportunity to meet and speak to key organisers, judges, and past competitors, making it an unmissable event.
