Vegetarian cookery competition

Bath’s Demuths Restaurant and The Vegetarian Cookery School have announced the second year of their search for talented young chefs with a flair for vegetarian cooking. The competition is open to anyone aged between 11 and 16, and will be judged in two age groups: 11-13 and 14-16.

The first stage is to write a recipe for a delicious and imaginative main course dish that’s seasonal, creative, and meat and fish-free. Deadline for applications is 1 September 2012.

The best three recipes, in each age group, will be judged by the Vegetarian Cookery School, with the chosen chefs invited to spend a day at the cookery school on 30 October 2012.

During the day, entrants will create their meals and complete an ingredient recognition quiz. The finalist’s dishes will be judged by a panel of local food experts for their creativity, flavour, use of ingredients, and cookery skills.
