Caludon Update December 2013

FUTURECHEF2014 All Year 10 Hospitality and Catering students were entered for this national competition. The competition was also open to year 11 Hospitality and Catering students. The students had to plan a main course meal for two costing less than ÂŁ5. They then had one hour to prepare cook and serve their meal. The competition took place on Thursday 17th October. The competition was fierce and the atmosphere was tense as the students worked hard to produce their meals.

Mr Walker (from AiP) and Mrs Marr were the judges and agreed that the standard was very high.

After some deliberation the winner was announced.

Beth Mason was the winner this year and Akash Prabhakar was the runner up for the second year running. Well done to them both. Students who also deserve a special mention are Sian Healy, Laura Nelson, Dale Patrick-Evans and Sam Martin.

Beth then went on to take part in the local final at Henley College on Thursday 21 st November.

She won this with her menu of Asian crispy skinned trout with braised pak choi and sticky rice followed by spiced oven roasted plums, praline crumble and orange marscapone.

Beth will now be mentored by a professional chef to help her prepare for the regional final in January.

Well done to all the students who took part and good luck to Beth!
