Student Masterchef Competition


A 'Student Masterchef' competition took place last week, as part of Manchester City Councils' 'Love Food Hate Waste' campaign.

The contestants were all students from across Manchester with no previous culinary experience. They were given typical leftovers which they then had to turn into delicious dishes.

The competition aimed to highlight the importance of food wastage, particularly that in student households, and the effects it has on the economy, and on the environment.

Fuse FM reporter Hattie Pearson and myself went down to Manchester Metropolitan's Culinary Arts building to oversee the competiton taking place (and to sample some of the creations...if we were lucky) but Hattie ended up taking on a much bigger task as one of the contestants failed to turn up....
