Talented students put their skills into action in the University kitchens to mark International Chefs Day in partnership with Nestlé Professional.
The event is a celebration of the chef industry and aims to pass on skills and knowledge to the culinary creators of the future, as well as educating children about the importance of good eating habits.
This year's theme, 'Growing Great Chefs', highlights the importance of healthy eating to boost the immune system and combat stress in challenging circumstances and why become a professional chef.
University students marked the occasion by cooking different mushroom or fungi dishes from a recipe provided by Worldchefs, with their creations being shared online to help inspire more young chefs.
Lecturer on the Professional Chef foundation degree, Mathew Shropshall, said: "Once again, it's fantastic to support International Chefs Day.
"Our aim is to support people throughout the UK and the world in producing healthy meals and enjoying cooking. Recipes and information were sent out by the organisers Worldchefs with the positive message of staying safe, healthy and positive.
"A big thank you to chairwoman Vanessa Marquis in bringing together chefs from all over the world to support the day.
"We are really happy to produce some of the recipes and share them with people around the globe. Stay safe and enjoy cooking!"
