Fourteen-year-old Phillip Ransome from Ferndown Upper School has won through to the next round of Rotary’s national Young Chef competition.
A menu of salmon rillettes followed by pork chops with apple tart topping and, for sweet, a lemon posset with raspberry salad and shortbread was enough to secure Phillip’s place in the next stage of the competition that carries a top prize of an all-expenses paid trip to Italy.
Finbar Macmillan Caball and Hope Simmons took the second and third slots in the fiercely contested local heat, with the three top places being awarded Amazon vouchers for £20, £15 and £10 respectively.
