The 2019 competition kicked off today, with 12 teams competing for a place in the top six spots. Each team was given a mystery box with chicken and four other ingredients of their choice, from carbohydrates and vegetables. With only ten minutes to plan, the teams were under pressure to come up with a dish that would not only impress the judges, but also cook within the one hour time limit. It was impressive to see the varied ideas and dishes that the junior teams managed to come up with. In the end, Natalie and Chelsea scooped the top spot with their Chicken tacos, followed closely by Charlotte and Valerie’s ravioli.

Many thanks to our judges and congratulations to the six teams that made it through to the second round.
