Kyle’s Recipe Fame

Kyle Room, a National Diploma Hospitality student, recently competed in a national cookery competition for Sainsbury's and reached the final.

To enter the competition Kyle sent Sainsbury’s his unique recipe; Fillet of seabass on a tomato & basil tartlet with a Mediterranean sauce. He went through two heats and got down to the final twelve. Kyle demonstrated his recipe in the grand final, in front of an audience of 4,000 people. He can now boast that his recipe has been published in the Sainsbury’s ‘The Big Cook Off’ recipe book.

19 year old Kyle, an ex-Fulford School pupil, could not believe he had got to the final. He said: “My mum was crying with joy and I just couldn’t believe it! I was inspired to cook by my Italian grandma, and this was one of her favourite recipes. I added my own twist to the recipe and I know she would still love it.”
