Date : 16th to 19th October 2019 at TNL Ground, Ukhrul Town
SheChef (earlier called ShiChef) is a cooking competition organised by the Exotic School of Cooking in collaboration with Popa Restaurant as part of the Shirui Lily Festival.
In its second season this year, SheChef 2019 is being organised with an aim to carry forward the famous slogan of the Hon'ble Prime Minister of India, “Beti Bachao, Beti Padhao.”
This platform aims to unearth the culinary skills of many women and help them turn their passion into profession. This is an attempt to facilitate financial independence and confidence for women in Manipur.
The competitors will cook using locally produced ingredients which will also eventually help the farmers by adding value to their produce, while altogether promoting indigenous cuisine.
The competition will take place at TNL Ground, Ukhrul Town, during the entire duration of the Shirui Lily Festival, i.e. 16th to 19th October 2019.
After a public call for interested participants, final six contestants have been selected for the competition through a process of screening.
They are from the ages of 18 to 26 and their names are as under:
1. Nimri Marchang
2. Rinchuila Tuithung
3. Yurrinchon Keishing
4. Rumunhoi Tubung
5. Zingyatphi Hungyo
6. Neisoyang Rangla
The competition will be held for 4 days with 4 different themes for cooking.
The judges meticulously selected for the competition are Chingyo Shinglai, Rupali Longjam and Dr. Changmei Shadang. The first two are qualified chefs while the third is an expert in nutrition.
A unique feature of this season is that the entire organising team is made up by only women.
The winner will be awarded a cash prize of Rs 30,000 while the second and third prize recipients will receive Rs 20,000 and Rs 10,000 respectively. The consolation prize will be Rs 2000 each.
