This is a cooking challenge for Year 7 or 8 students who love to cook creatively!

What is it?

The Root to Tip philosophy encourages cooks to be resourceful with seasonal produce, using as much from each plant as possible e.g. leaf and root, fruit and peel creating delicious food with minimum waste.

Schools create a 2-course Savoury Vegetarian Menu that meets challenge criteria. Four finalist schools will be selected. Schools will then select 2 students to cook their menu and participate in a cooking challenge against the other finalists.

Winners get to take home some great prizes for their school and themselves including: Online Membership to the Garden to Table Programme, a Tour of ARA Nutrition Department, and Lunch for two and behind scenes tour at Bearlion Foods, Southern Hospitality Prize Pack!

And all finalists will receive a Garden to Table apron and a Love Food Hate Waste Goodie Bag!
