Kent Young Chef Award Winners and Finalists

The county's prestigious and longest-running cookery competition for young people (created by Kent's food and drink champions. Produced in Kent) reached a dramatic finale at the Live Cook Off at K College, Tonbridge, on Friday 25 November.

Fourteen year old Alice Browning from Walderslade Girls' School (who reached the final for the third consecutive year) spectacularly clinched the senior title, having previously won the junior category in 2009; whilst the junior title was won by brand new talent eleven year old Phoebe Icke, from Ashford School.


Special congratulations go to local girl Jordan Winter from Tonbridge who attends the Weald of Kent Grammar School. Jordan prepared a fantastic Kentish Roasted Winter Vegetables with Pan-Fried Locally Sourced Sea Bass and a White Wine and Dill Sauce – but unfortunately was beaten in the Senior Category by Alice Browning.
