Tallink`s head chef Anti Lepik gained first places in both competition classes of Finnish Championships in oyster opening. This result qualifies him to the World Championships of oyster opening.
Lepik won the first place in the competition class of Belon oyster opening as well as in the class of Fin de Claire oyster opening.
According to Anti Lepik are the Finnish Championships a high level competition, which give him the possibility to enter the World Championships, since there are no local championships held in Baltic States. „It is only possible to enter the World Championships when winning leading places in local championships. I have got leading places in Finland several times, but I have never before won first places in both competition classes“, added he.
Both the place and time of the local competition are important for qualifying into the World Championships. Estonia has been represented in World Championships only three times - in 2007 and 2008 with Anti Lepik and in 2005 with Inka Keller.
In 2008 Lepik won third places in both competition classes in Finnish Championships of oyster opening. In World Championships Lepik gained the fourth place in 2007 and tenth place in 2008.
Anti Lepik is the head chef of Tallink from 1999 and has previously worked on several Tallink ships as chef de cuisine. In 1997 Lepik won the first place in Estonian Championships of chefs and has been a jury member of many cooking contests. Lepik has had additional professional training in Italy, France, Switzerland, Finland, Sweden and many other European countries.
