Alex Hutchinson winner of the Malton School Food Festival competition with judges; Matthew Beaver, owner of Maison du vin Malton, and Paul Bough, Chef at Eckington Manor.
ALEX Hutchinson beat off competition from 80 fellow Year 9 pupils at Malton School to win the final of a food festival competition.
The brief was to start with a basic Scotch egg recipe and come up with a unique creation.
There were several heats in school before 12 students went to Malton Cookery School for the semi-final, and then six students competed in the final, which was held during the Malton Food Lovers Festival itself.
Alex prepared a traditional savoury scotch egg. The chef judges were Matthew Beaver, owner of Maison du vin Malton, and Paul Bough, chef at Eckington Manor, who were impressed with Alex’s demonstration of technical skill.
