Tora Cook Off – What a great event!

August 11, 2015 August 2015 No Comments

Tora-cook-offEven though we had to compete with the Super 15 Rugby final in Wellington, we had an outstanding turn out of upwards of 70 people attend to assist with eating and judging the 34 dishes which were entered.
 
All dishes were of an outstanding quality and the variety was amazing.  I don’t believe anyone went home hungry.  This year the dishes entered by the children did really well so it would seem we may have a few young Master Chef’s amongst the community!
 
Winning Results:
Best Paua Fritter Cole I*.
Best Fish Dish – Joint winners to: Jenny Bargh with her Seafood Medley and Amanda Bargh with her Confit Fish
Best Wild Game Dish: Flyn I. with his Smoked Red Neck Wild Boar dish
Farmed Meat Dish: Simon Bargh for his Meat Pies
Home Grown Produce Dish: Anna Jones with her Pumpkin Soup
Dessert Dish: Jenny Bargh with her Tora Treats Medley
Childrens Dish: Pippa M. with her Rhubarb fool
Overall Winning Dish and Bragging rights went to Flyn I. for his Smoked Red Neck Wild Boar Dish.
