THREE talented Ysgol Dyffryn Taf pupils took part in a very tight Young Chef competition on November 14.

Competitors had two hours in which to cook a main course and dessert for two people, for under £18. The judges took healthy food choices into consideration. The competitors cooked interesting and tasty food and all stayed well within the budget. 

There was just a quarter point in the judging with Leah Jones going through to the next round. Leah cooked pomegranate salmon with a herby quinoa salad finished with a balsamic glaze and a pistachio tiramisu served with fresh raspberries and cream for dessert.

Rotary Young Chef is an annual national competition with several more rounds early next year.
