Indoor Cooking

Eleven teams competed in the 2010 indoor cooking competition with two places in the County competition at stake.

The teams were given a selection of ingredients including chicken, sausage, bacon and a chilli! They were then asked to create a menu and serve a three course meal for the judges.

The standard of cooking was high but the winners were 6th Keighley Oakworth.
