Rotary International in Great Britain & Ireland believes it is highly important to encourage and develop creativity in young people, and this includes creativity in the kitchen. Cooking amongst young people is a growing interest and a valuable life skill. Schools seem to agree and hence the RIBI Young Chef competition, in association with Filippo Berio, moves forward from strength to strength each year producing some superb quality cooking from our young people aged from 11 to 17.
This year a total of 8 young people completed the cook off in the District Final on Feb. 4th,
Each entrant had to prepare cook and serve a 3 course meal for 2 for under £15.The judges were impressed with the quality of the cooking and were happy to put forward 2 young people to the Regional Final on March 24th at Ilkeston.
The members of Rotary District 1270 wish Wesley Frith and Poppy Dickinson all the best for the Regional Competition.
