Rotary Young Chef Competition Winner 2009 Hailey VickersAmersham area’s budding young Fanny Craddocks, Delia Smiths, Jamie Olivers and Rick Steins are invited to demonstrate their culinary skills in the nationwide Rotary Young Chef Competition 2010.
Rotary Club of Amersham have organised a preliminary competition for local youngsters aged between 11 to 17, the winner of which will go on to a district or regional heat later this year. The eight best will then be invited to take part in the grand final on 10 April 2010 to be held in Chichester, West Sussex, where they will present a three course meal to some highly qualified judges and a large audience. All will receive some excellent prizes and trophies but the mouth-watering prize for the grand winner is a trip to Italy for the olive harvest and of course a cooking and eating experience courtesy of the competition’s sponsors Felippo Berio.
Users of olive oil in the kitchen whether for cooking or salad-making, will be familiar with the company and its well-known products, which include margarine.
Derek Bryant President of the Rotary Club of Amersham emphasised the fun element of this competition.
“Rotary Young Chef is aimed at anyone who enjoys cooking or who just wants to have a go. It's not just for experienced young cooks. It’s a wonderfully enjoyable competition and a chance for young people to get creative and have some fun with food.“
So any young people in the Amersham area who would like to have a crack at this please get in touch with Pat Armstrong on 01494 726961 or visit the Rotary Club of Amersham website http://www.amershamrotary.org/
