Initial Judging
Contestants are invited to create an innovative sandwich or food to go product using the sponsors ingredient as the key element, together with any other ingredients of their choice. They will then be asked to submit online written recipes no later than Wed 02/02 together with a photograph of their creation.
The recipes will be judged anonymously by the sponsors and the top recipes chosen will progress to the regional heats and the semi-finalists will be notified week commencing 21/02
The contestants will need to consider the judging criteria when creating their dish - taste, presentation, texture, commercial viability and innovative use of the sponsors product.
