Welcome back everyone to my blogs. I hope your day was great too. While I was rereading my other blogs and deciding what do write for my next ones, I realised I mentioned Ready Steady Cook to you all and you probably don't even know what that is, so in this blog I am going to talk about Ready Steady Cook.
Ready Steady Cook is a competition in my school that goes on in early March. It is a competition where you bake/cook what the theme of that year is.
To explain a bit more, this year the theme for Ready Steady Cook was "Your favourite dessert with a twist". You enter a form into the Home Economics Department and they choose 20 finalists out of however many people enter.
For my Ready Steady Cook I baked meringue with lemon curd and raspberry coulis. My two favourite desserts are Meringues with lemon curd and raspberry coulis and trifle also. For my dessert for the competition I made meringues with lemon curd and raspberry coulis but in trifle form so they were in layers.
The competition was really high and the person who won deserved it, her dessert tasted good! She made an apple cake with a really cool design on the top with apple peals in roses and apple sticks. I can't even explain it. It was amazing!
In the competition we have 1 hour and 30 minutes to make these baked goods and then they announce the winners, 1st, 2nd and 3rd but this year they have a new thing where they also have 3 highly commended placed winners. I think its good that they added those 3 highly commended because it gives people a chance to come a place and gives them confidence saying that they are almost there to winning.
I used Rachel Allen's recipe for the lemon curd and it tasted great.
- This is Rachel Allen on BBC and she is making Meringues and lemon curd at the start of the video.
- Go to 1 minute and 35 seconds and that is when she starts making the lemon curd.
I hope you enjoyed this blog and I hope you will read my next blog post.
Enjoy,
Katelyn
