A colleague of mine is organising a wonderful competition in Manchester to find the region's best amateur pudding chef - and the prize includes a weekend away baking puddings at The Pudding Club, which sounds great! I'm considering entering - but am rubbish at making desserts so I'm not so sure!
Fancy it? Here are all the details:
Do you bake THE BEST BUNS, COOK CRACKING CAKES OR ARE YOUR FLANS FABULOUS?
THE HUNT IS ON TO FIND THE BEST AMATEUR PUDDING CHEF IN THE NORTH-WEST!
Are your desserts more delicious than James Martin's? Would Delia be envious of your perfect puddings? If you think your desserts are divine PUDZ wants to hear from you!
PUDZ, a fantastic range of indulgent puddings from frozen desserts specialist Greencore Frozen Foods, is searching Manchester for pudding enthusiasts to take part in a nationwide search to find the Amateur Pudding Chef of the Year.
To enter, dessert-lovers need to submit their best recipe for any type of dessert, to the email or postal addresses below, and the best five will be selected to take part in a regional bake-off.
The Manchester bake-off will take place at the Manchester Metropolitan University, Hollings Campus on July 3, 2008 where the North West’s very own Amateur Pudding Chef of the Year will be crowned.
The search will then travel around the country and culminate in a live, all expenses paid, grand final bake-off at the Good Housekeeping Institute Kitchen in London on Thursday November 6, 2008. The five finalists from Manchester, Leeds, Birmingham, Bristol and Glasgow will each prepare their pudding, which will then be judged by top celebrity chef, Mich Turner.
The winner will be crowned the Amateur Pudding Chef of the Year 2008 and receive a fantastic weekend away at the Pudding Club. They will also win a cooking lesson with top cake chef, Mich Turner, who has baked cakes for the Queen, Sir Paul McCartney and Madonna amongst others, and been described by Gordon Ramsey as ‘the Bentley of cake makers.”
PUDZ spokesperson, Kelly Eastwood comments: “This is a great opportunity for everyone who is passionate about puddings to put their tried and tested family favourites or their own special secret recipe to the test. We are looking for a ‘masterchef’ of the pudding world and look forward to receiving the delicious recipes. The final prize is an amazing opportunity for some ‘one on one’ tuition from Mich and a trip to the mecca for puddings lovers – the Pudding Club!”
Entrants must be over 18 years old and recipes can be sent to PUDZ Amateur Pudding Chef of the Year, Brazen PR, 27 Great Ancoats Street, Manchester, M4 5AJ or emailed to [email protected] by 27th June 2008.
I'm Andrea, and am obsessed with creating fabulous food. After I managed to ditch dieting, the reason Chocolate and Beyond was born, it seemed natural to evolve my site into a foodie blog. More so since I also ditched animal produce to be vegan. Now, I love showing how inventive cruelty-free cooking can be. And sometimes I like to rant, too. I wouldn't be myself otherwise :) x
