BFFM 2010 Cook-Off Competition
The Belconnen Fresh Food Markets took students to the movies!
The winning school of the BFFM 2010 Cook-Off won 60 tickets to the very special screening of Eclipse - Twilight Saga. We had the screening room to ourselves before the movie started and we did a few rounds of Trivia questions. There were great prizes to be won such as cooking books, twilight DVDs and posters, gift cards...
We had a great time! Thanks to all for your participation!
The BFFM 2010 Cook-Off took place on Thursday, 20th of May 2010.
It was an event full of fun, challenges and learning opportunities. CONGRATULATIONS to both schools and to their teachers, and thank you to our amazing judges for their presence and experience!
Our 2 finalists, Canberra High School & Telopea Park School each presented 2 incredible dishes full of creativity, mouthwatering flavors and color.
Thank you to both teams for their hard work, involvement and great spirit!
The winner was announced by our 5 judges, including a renowned Chef, a famous sports Coach, an Italian food lover, a busy business woman who still finds time to cook feasts on weekends & one of our storeowners/cooking experts who enjoyed it so much last year, she decided to come back.
Both schools won great prizes!
