OBJECTIVE:
We believe that “Kids Can Cook”!
In fact over the years of this competition, we have realised that kids can cook THE most
amazing dishes! It is our aim to get our kids “hooked on cooking” at a primary
school age to help nurture those that have natural talent and promote
healthy eating.
THE COMPETITION:
This is a fun competition where the emphasis is
solely on the kids. There must only be one entrant cooking and they must
be a pupil of a Northland School and in Year 1 to Year 8. Parents and caregivers
are there purely for moral support and guidance.
Entrants are asked to submit two of their favourite
dishes, which can easily be cooked on a gas top or in a microwave (no oven will
be available). The entrants will be judged not only on the imagination of each
dish but also on the presentation of how they submit their entry. (Photos,
poster, video, DVD, YouTube link etc).
All entries must be received by 5pm on the 31st October 2014. They will be judged by a panel of hospitality
representatives and they will choose winning entrants to go forward into the “Cook
Off”.
All entrants will be contacted by the head judge and the finalists will be given
further information about the competition day at
Waimate North on November
the 8th 2014.
Each entrant who makes it through will represent
their school and will compete against other entrants live on stage, cooking one
of their dishes with the view of getting through to the GRAND FINAL.
In this they will be cooking their second dish and they will
be competing for the prestigious “Kids Can Cook” Trophy!
The overall winner will get to keep the trophy at their school for a year and
will win a very exciting grand prize for them and their
family.
Prizes to be confirmed.
The ‘Kids Can Cook’ stage will be set up with four
cooking stations.
Each station will have a bench top, cold water, 2
gas hobs, power and
the use of a microwave.
Each entrant will be responsible for any
other cooking equipment
and any ingredients that they will need.
Finalists will have 30 minutes to complete their
dish. Chef Hughie Blues and guest Chef Judges will be on hand to spur the kids
along and help fill in the gaps entertaining and educating the audience as the
competition goes on.
