Whanganui UCOL students serve up silver
medals
It was a silver lined weekend for
two Whanganui UCOL Culinary Arts students when they competed
at the Wellington Culinary Fare on Friday.
Certificate in Advanced in Culinary Arts (Level 4) students Marama Savage and Brenda Pollard were competing in the high pressure, live cookery events that are held annually in conjunction with the Wellington Food Show.
Marama’s Salmon main course of Grilled Salmon on potato blini, with seared vegetables and Pesto beurre blanc earned him a silver medal.
Brenda also scored a silver medal with her brunch chicken dish of Pan fried Chicken thigh, wrapped in Prosciutto with a red onion confit, on potato pizza, with grapes, mesclun salad greens and a Verjuice dressing.
The pair had one hour to prepare four identical plates of their respective dishes for judging.
The student’s Culinary Arts lecturer Claude Baudet says, “Marama and Brenda competed to a very high standard and deserved their success in the hotly contested event.”
