Dugyu Dee Karakus goes through to SCOTY national final
Competitors for the SCOTY competition, which is sponsored by Bisto from Premier Foods, must prepare, cook and present four portions of a main course and dessert with a total food cost of £1.75 per head in 90 minutes. The two-course menus must meet the School Food Standards and Eat Well Guide.
Regional final winners will each receive a £100 cash prize and advance to the SCOTY final at The School Food Show and Forum. The cook-off took place at the same time as the South West regional final at the Rational Kitchen, Nisbets in Bristol.
Dugyu made hearty meatball gratin with silky potato purée, vibrant vegetables, and a crisp beetroot tulip for her main course. For dessert she created hibiscus infused pear with smooth cream and a touch of Bird’s cheesecake crumble.
