A pupil from St John’s Primary School has won the 2017 Bath and North East Somerset Junior Chef Competition.
The school hosted the competition in its modern and well-equipped cookery room.
Year 4 and 5 students in primary schools across the region were asked to design a healthy snack for two people, with semi-finals held in schools and the big cook-off held at St John’s.
St John’s chose two finalists, Adelaide and Orlagh, from over thirty entries and took part in a very hard and well debated semi-final to go through and compete against the other schools.
Both children were praised highly by the judges for their skills, organisation and
delicious food. They did amazingly well, being scrutinised by a total of five judges from B&NES and a chef from Yeovilton Air Base.
Orlagh was pronounced as winner of the 2017 competition and Adelaide as a runner-up. St John’s will receive £100 towards cooking equipment for winning the first prize.
Well done to both girls and to everyone who entered.
