What a perfect day it was for the 2nd Market Chef Cook-off at the Market last Saturday – in stark contrast to the 1st in our series of 3 cook-offs – the day dawned clear & bright & after a cold start of jut 4 degrees it warmed up to a glorious day as the most delicious food was being cooked by Chef Dale Sniffen & Chef Don Hancey…720 ABC Perth Radio broadcast the Saturday Breakfast Show live & had all the cooking action covered – & later with Sabrina Hahn garden Guru answering the many question from the crowd – well done Sab!
Both chefs were off to a great start scouring the Market for the best ingredients – it was like being a kid in a lolly shop they said – as they collected succulent prawns, muscles & rankin cod from the Seafood Stall, organic beeef from Redtail Ridge, olive oil from Guinea Grove & the best vegies from Vergones, Heritage Delight, S &C Fiolo’s, Kym’s Mushrooms & Supa Fresh Lettuce – as well as Ellah’s Eggs to cook up a breakfast feast. James Lush was in on the preparation too – peeling fresh peas & throwing radishes around! As knives were flying the heat turned up on the barbeques to produce the tastiest breakfast of the morning.
Chef Don’s spectacular frypan from his PAN-O-RAMA Catering business was filled with 3kg of seafood & the freshest seasonal vegies around – it was gone in a flash as the hungry crowd gathered! And there was no stopping Chef Dale – after breakfast he went on to cook a beef salad dish & the smoothest potatoes I’ve ever seen – in only 8 mins! The verdict from the onlookers was a fair & even 9.5 /10 each -impossible to pick a winner with such a high standard on each side!
