young chef competition 2017/2018
This year's competition was held on Thursday 16th November at Wymondham College. Four students entered and once again, the standard was very high. Each student had to produce a healthy, reasonably priced three course meal in two hours. Judging was staggered to judge each course within a serving time frame. Points were also awarded for presentation skills, good timing and hygienic working practices. This year's winner was Amelia Rivett from Aylsham high. Her starter was wild mushroom and pumpkin soup, venison with pearl barley and peas and chocolate mousse
