Lyall Minhinnick is one of three of New Zealand s best young chefs who battled it out in the kitchen for the chance to be crowned Beef + Lamb New Zealand’s first young ambassador chef. Minhinnick of Ngāti Te Ata entered to inspire Māori and Pasifika youth to dream big, push through barriers, and see past their circumstances. The finalists were shortlisted to the top three out of 19. Despite not winning first place, Minhinncik says getting the chance to put his food on the plate and show it to the judges was “absolutely awesome”.
