Your chance to try Leslie Chan’s 2026 Global Chefs Challenge Menu

The Australian Culinary Federation is rallying behind Chef Leslie Chan and young chef Isabel Nicole Aguas (Koi) as they prepare to represent Australia at the 2026 Global Chefs Challenge Finals in Wales this May.

Before they compete on the world stage, you have the chance to experience the exact four-course menu they will present.

Leslie brings more than 25 years of professional kitchen experience. His career began at the iconic The Peninsula Hong Kong before he moved into Melbourne’s luxury hospitality sector. Today, as Corporate Chef for Mrs. Tran’s Kitchen, he continues to shape standards and mentor emerging talent.

Alongside him, Isabel Nicole Aguas (Koi) represents the next generation of Australian chefs stepping into international competition.

Founded in 1994, the Australian Culinary Federation National Office Inc. was born from the shared vision of a group of passionate industry stakeholders. These forward-thinking chefs sought to safeguard the culinary landscape, championing a more inclusive and representative community for cooks, chefs, apprentices, and culinary students across Australia. Their aim was to establish a unified body that would support the interests and development of culinary professionals and raise the Australian profile of the culinary arts both nationally and internationally.

This founding group set principles of unity, high standards, and professional growth, creating an association that has become a cornerstone of the Australian foodservice industry. The Australian Culinary Federation today stands for innovation, education, and community, advancing the goals of those in the cookery field.

Over the years, the federation has expanded its reach, introducing various programs, competitions, and educational initiatives that foster the continuous development of industry skills and knowledge. It stands as a testament to the collective vision and lasting influence of those pioneering chefs who, nearly three decades ago, envisioned a brighter and more respected future for the culinary profession in Australia.

Today, the Australian Culinary Federation continues to nurture the next generation of culinary talent, championing sustainability, innovation, and high standards. It remains true to its founding values, promoting a culture of inclusivity and advancement that resonates with culinary professionals both in Australia and around the world.
