GOUVERNEUR -- Trent Turner, a student at Governeur High School, won a $250 scholarship after competing in a cooking competition at Paul Smith's recenlty.
Turner competed with 16 other budding chefs at Paul Smith's 15th annual Cooking for Scholarships competition.
Contestants were provided identical ingredients and given 3 1/2 hours to prepare a menu and cook a meal. They were also given a written exam and tested on their ability to perform basic culinary techniques.
More than $24,000 in scholarships and prizes were awarded at the event, which was judged by a panel of Paul Smith's faculty chefs. Scholarships are renewable for up to four years.
The competitors prepared their food at the Statler Foundation Culinary Training Facility on the Paul Smith's campus. That building includes seven culinary laboratories and is also home to the Wally Ganzi Jr. Restaurant Training Center, which is modeled after the renowned Palm restaurant steak houses.
