Bendigo Master Chef 2013
Master Chef 2013 - Cathy Ward (L) and Lisa Lavey (R)
The annual Bendigo Master Chef and Junior Master Chef challenge was a resounding success. Funds raised for the Support, Prevention and Research into breast and gynaecological cancers totalled approximately $540. This was made up of on-line donations, entry fees, raffles and the sale of plants.
You can make a tax-deductible donation any time – online!
Prizes were donated by Purtill’s Nursery of Huntly, Elegant Concepts, Axedale Reef Winery, The Good Loaf, Pat & Leonie Francis, Marilyn Hards, Cathy Ward, and Sandra Paschkow.
Old hands and budding chefs created superb dishes to tantalize the tastebuds of the foodies and freeloaders who sipped, sucked, slurped and scoffed the tempting array of dishes on offer. After carefully considering their vote, which may have included going back for seconds, winners were announced.
