Every year the standard just gets better and better - it never ceases to surprise me - it gives me some good ideas too! It is an experience that they will remember for the rest of their lives.

Winner 2020
I feel so happy to have won. I don't think it has really sunk in yet. I just love cooking, and I love learning about different foods. I felt comfortable in the kitchen so all my nerves just disappeared when I started to cook.
