Ready Steady Cook 2011
Fri, Apr 1st 2011 at 12:00 am - 2:00 am
An exciting cook-off took place this week when eight students, two male and six female, from Ullswater Community College and Queen Elizabeth Grammar School battled within a 60minute deadline to become top cooks and winners of the Penrith Rotary Club Ready Steady Cook Competition.
Around 250 Year 9 students were involved in this year's competition with the eight finalists cooking in front of 3 guest judges, Mrs Pat Russell, Chef Lecturer at the Lake District School of Food and Wine, Abe Camacho, Senior Sous Chef at the North Lakes Hotel and Mr Michael Woods, Commis Chef again from the North Lakes Hotel. An audience of friends and relatives as well as Rotarians all added to the pressure the students faced.
Frantic last minute presentational details were taking place as time was running out, and then it was over to the judges as the cooks nervously waited outside.
