Last night I had the privilege to take part in a fundraising event that Tennyson Insurance held in aid of Age UK West Sussex!
To my delight, I was asked to be a judge for this "Master Chef" type of event, held at our Laburnum Centre in Bognor Regis.
Of course I agreed to taste two starters, mains and desserts cooked by the contestants consisting of a red and blue team.
Being a non- commited chelsea supporter of course did not sway my marks...!
I was delighted when I was brought out two whole plates full of main meal to feast on, and may I say both were delicious!
The blue team provided me with chicken satay skewers, bombay potatoes and a mediterannean type vegetable dish with rice, I found it hard to fault!
The red team came out with beautifully tasting chicken, herbed new potatoes and green peas... again this was delicious.
My favourite part of the evening without a doubt (apart from the free wine supply) was pudding!WOW..
Blue team made a delicious dark chocolate mousse with a cream topping coated in forest fruits, unfortunately there was not enough for me to share with everyone!
Red team made a circular cheesecake with rasberries and a rasberry coulis, beautifully presented!
I was accompanied by our Good Neighbours Service Volunteer Mary, and her client Ann, who both also thoroughly enjoyed the evening.
