Nom Nom Nom 2012 Cook Off Winners

The afternoon of the 8th July 2012, saw a very important tournament taking place.  No it wasn't just Andy Murray in the Wimbledon finals, but the Nom Nom Nom cook off.  The finalists had spent weeks preparing and Sunday was crunch day when they would be putting their menus to the test in Cookery School's professional kitchens, with their trusty Magimix food processors and all under the eye of an esteemed panel of London's leading chefs, restaurateurs and food writers.

You'll be able to judge & vote for the finalist menus yourself when their records of the day appear on this site in a couple of weeks time.  But on Sunday it was the turn of our Expert Judges to give the food the ultimate taste test.  After a morning shopping in the local area, the finalists had two and half hours to prepare a three course menu & wow the judges with their regional dishes.

So without further ado the winners were:
