For the second year running, five finalists will be battling it out for the chance to win £1,000 worth of vouchers for their care home as well as a £250 John Lewis voucher.
The competition, which is now open for entries, will require each participant to create a main dish featuring at least one Bisto product and a dessert using a Country Range product, both of these must not exceed a total budget of £2.25 per portion.
Sarah Robb, channel marketing manager at Premier Foods, said: “We’re so excited to be continuing on our partnership with the Country Range Group. The Bisto Care Chef competition is the perfect setting to highlight the high culinary standards which are executed in care homes up and down the country. The pressure of providing a tasty and nutritious meal within budget is no easy task, but the contestants make it look effortless. I have no fear that the entries we receive will do care caterers across the UK justice and I wish everyone the very best of luck with the process.”
To enter, care caterers must first develop their two recipes, ensuring both product and budget parameters have been adhered to. They must then download and complete an entry form from the Premier Foodservice website, submitting the recipes along with photos of their creations. These will need to be sent via email to sarah.robb@premierfoods.co.uk or by post to Sarah Robb, Premier Foods, Premier House, Griffiths Way, St Albans, Herts, AL1 2RE.
The closing date for entries is 5pm on the 2 August, with a live final taking place at Premier Foods’ head office on the 11 September.
