Double Gold and Young Baker winner at World Bread Awards



 
On 6 October 2015, I went to the World Bread Awards as finalist for the Kitchen Aid Young Baker 12-17 category.  Last year I won the KitchenAid Young Baker under 12 category.  It was a really good evening and I met lots of famous people and judges.  The food was lovely and I especially enjoyed the Quicke's goats cheese as it was really creamy and tasty and the delicious Dickinson and Morris pork pie.

A fantastic banquet for us to enjoy

At the Awards ceremony, I waited for my category to be announced: "KitchenAid Young Baker 12-17".  My name was announced as runner up for my Otto the Octopus bread with eight tasty tentacles.  They commented on my creativity.  I sat down only to have my name called again as I came first with my Flower Power bread.  This had pesto in that I had made myself.  They commented on how tasty it was.  I have won two "Golds" for these breads.

Winning Kitchen Aid Young Baker 12-17: prize awarded by Stephen Hallam


I am really pleased that I am getting a lovely prize from KitchenAid.  This time I have won a Kitchen Aid Artisan Food Processor which will be really brilliant in the kitchen.  I also came home with a lovely goodie bag which included lots of nice things.  I loved the Tiptree jam which said congratulations, it was really special and looked amazing.  I am enjoying the Quicke's goat's cheese and hope to use it in some bread with the Marriage's flour and the Hillfarm rapeseed oil.  I am going to make some apple chutney with the Aspall's Cyder Vinegar.  I know this is vinegar is good as I have already made some chutney with it this year. 

I have really enjoyed being part of the World Bread Awards again this year so thank you to Brook Food, Tiptree and all the organisers and sponsors who have made it so special.
