Test your cooking skills in the 2011 Swiss BBQ Competition
With the fine weather we’ve been enjoying recently, many of you will have dusted down your barbecues and seized the opportunity to invite family and friends over for that great outdoors dining experience.
If you’re one of those great barbecuers, who grills to perfection, and has the reputation for producing great marinades and sauces, then you may like to try your luck in the next 2011 Suisse BBQ Championship. Organized by the Suisse Barbecue Association, the competition will take place this year at the beginning of June, at the lakeside in Nyon.
To enter the competition, all you need to do is get together a team of fellow barbecuers and submit your application via the competition website (www.swissbbq2011.ch/BBQ/page/main_en.php) by 30 May 2011. The lucky winners will receive Fr. 3000.-, plus a trip to the World Championship!
There are three categories in the competition: Suisse Inter-Company Cup, which takes place on Saturday 4th June, and Suisse Amateur Cup and Suisse Professional Cup, which take place on Sunday 5th June.The format of the competition is quite simple. At the beginning of the day you will receive a food hamper with all the items allowed in your competition category – you are allowed to bring your own selection of herbs and spices.
At each of the deadlines provided, your team must present a starter, main course and dessert. A group of professionals will then blind taste your dishes, and judge you on presentation, taste and tenderness, hygiene standards and, most importantly, team spirit!
So, if you fancy yourself as the next King or Queen of the BBQ, then don’t miss this great opportunity to demonstrate your skills, whilst spending a great day out with family and friends!
Visit the website for further information on costs to enter, and optional extras that can be purchased on the day for you and your guests. Anyone can come down and support you, and enjoy the special grill that is being put on for guests. So if you don't fancy the cooking but do fancy the food, then head on down and make a day out of it!
