A couple of weeks ago I competed in a competition at the Taste food festival in Dubai, in the Crate and Barrel Cook Off for BBC Good Food. I had entered my sticky chicken recipe online and I was shortlisted to one of 12 contestants.
The competition was not to cook my dish…. It was a cook off with a mystery box of ingredients. We had 5 minutes to develop a recipe and tell them what is was (so no changing it along the way) and then 25 minutes to cook and plate the dish for the panel of judges….
