Entered over the past 3 years have been teams ranging from Lawyers to Superleague Rugby Players; from Accountants to Breakfast Television Presenters, from the NHS to the NWDA and from Creatives to Hoteliers and Food Manufacturers. Each element of this knock out competition; from the ‘Meet your chef Mentors’ evening to the Gala Awards Dinner in January 2011, has been carefully planned to make this a unique and enjoyable experience.
“‘Fantastic event, loved every minute of it. We entered a team with a view to ‘lets give it a go’ but we came away having learnt about ourselves and others – also gained some wonderful cooking skills. Great team building which way exceeded our expectations of the event. With the added element of lots of fun built in. Would recommend it to anyone. Really looking forward to the 2010 competition.” Linda Mayers, ‘Baps Aloud’ NWDA 2009
