Young Chef Competition

Can you plan and cook a meal for two?

Do you have interesting and creative ideas about food?

If so, read on ...............

The competition has two rounds. 

For Round 1 you plan a healthy meal consisting of a main course and dessert. This should be a meal for two and should not cost more than £12. You list the ingredients and the methods that you would use to prepare it.
 

Entries should be emailed to   midhertsrotary@ymail.com  by Friday 25th January.    Don’t forget to include your name, email address and phone number.

Six entries will be selected for Round 2, the Cook-Off, on the basis of quality of the menu, including the colour and balance of ingredients, nutritional content, visual appeal and originality.

For the Cook-Off, you will be asked to prepare, cook and serve your chosen meal. You will be provided with a £12 voucher for Waitrose WGC to purchase the ingredients for the recipe you have submitted.  If you are selected we will inform you by Friday 1st February.

Whilst you are preparing and cooking your meal, you will be watched, guided and assessed on your cooking skills by the judges. Once all the meals have been cooked the judges will taste the meals and make their final decision on the winner and award the prizes.

The Cook-Off will be at Monk’s Walk School on Saturday 9th February 2013 from 10.30am to 2.00pm (cooking from11 am to 1 pm). There will be prizes for the winners and the overall winner will go on to the district final on 23^rd February and, if successful, to regional and national finals.
