We were very privileged to send 2 teams from Diamond Harbour School to the regional Root to Tip Competition last Friday. Both teams had to create 2 vegetarian dishes using all parts of locally sourced, seasonal fruit and vegetables.

It was very nerve wracking using a commercial kitchen, being watched by professional chefs and the Root to Tip judges. The teams had 2 hours to cook and present their chosen dishes. India and Stella created a warming cauliflower curry on roti followed by a citrus lemon pudding with whipped cream. 

Maya and Isla served up dosa filled with a potato and silverbeet curry followed by gulab jamun which are apple dough balls in a cardamom and saffron infused syrup.

 Both teams worked amazingly under the conditions and present delicious dishes. Congratulations to both teams on all of their hard work and efforts.
