Young Irish chef in world finals

Budding chef Mark Moriarty may only be 23 but he already has a lot on his plate. He is in the running for the international title of San Pellegrino young chef of the year.

In November, Mark entered the competition and was shortlisted as a finalist for the UK and Ireland leg of the contest. He now goes forward to the world final, in Milan, tomorrow.

“Once I entered the competition I kind of forgot about it. Then I saw a link go up online, the shortlist for the UK and Ireland final and I saw my name on it,” said Mark.
