IS ESF CHEF Semi final Senior Winner – Jennifer Frawley
In this Semi final of the Island School Senior section of the ESF Chef competition,the the competitors were give the brief to use a fruit in three different ways to create a dessert. The standard o skills and level of creativity was probably the best ever at this stage of the competition., with some students even putting their food science knowledge to the test with molecular gastronomy techniques. The Judges (Mr Reed, Ms Chan, Ms Law and Mrs Craig, visiting from West Island),were blown away with the presentation and then found it really hard to decide on the winner and who was going through to the IS final. In the end it was three way tie for Second place, with
Natalie Wong who made Strawberry cheesecake, strawberry sponge and strawberry spheres.
Natasha Wang, for her mango zero gravity creation
and Natalie Leung with her deconstructed Mango Passion fruit cheesecake
Jennifer was a clear winner though , with her Raspberry cheesecake, with Raspberry Coulis and Sorbet\
