Whilst working from home, our Catering & Hospitality students took part in Stephen Scuffell’s ‘Beat the chefs, lockdown store cupboard recipe competition’ to create a main course based around pasta, rice or beans. The challenge encouraged students to donate to enter, with donations going towards Great Ormond Street’s official charity.
Chefs were required to create a ‘store cupboard’ dish to feed the family, with the best dish winning a prize.
- Level 3 Professional Cookery student, Nyarli Calderon, cooked spicy pork belly with pepper-infused rice.
- Level 3 Professional Cookery student, Emma Carter, made an interpretation of French onion soup with spaghetti noodles, served with fresh homemade bread.
- Level 3 Professional Cookery student, Luke Watkins, cooked tagliatelle with a red wine and tomato sauce served with garlic bread.

- Level 2 Professional Cookery student, Latif Gyandoh, prepared a South African dish called Chakalaka, served with rice and seasoned chicken.

Students managed to raise £100 for Great Ormond Street’s official charity. Stay tuned to find out the winning dish.
