Competition launched to fill Brentwood's 'Chefs at Home' community lockdown cookbook
Could your family favourite make the cut?
Submitted by Brentwood Borough Council
Residents in Brentwood, Essex can take part in a new competition to create a community lockdown cookbook and raise money for charity.
The Brentwood 'Chefs at Home' cookbook will feature 50 recipes created by residents from the borough.
The aim of the cookbook is to bring the community together in a fun, healthy and creative way by sharing family favourites.
Residents are encouraged to submit their recipes from which 50 will be chosen by the deputy mayor of Brentwood to go into the book which will be published and sold to raise money for the mayor’s chosen charities.
With many families using time in lockdown to take up and develop culinary skills, this is the chance to put a spin on a traditional recipe or submit a new creative bake.
Councillor Olivia Sanders, Brentwood’s chair of health and wellbeing board and the borough’s deputy mayor, said: "This fun and exciting opportunity is open to all Brentwood residents. I'm sure that it will be an entertaining and exciting project for family members to do together.
"I am pleased that Brentwood’s health and wellbeing board can help support this worthwhile project and am really looking forward to trying out the entries myself. It will be exciting to see the chosen ones come together to form a published paperback book that will make a great gift for friends and family and raise money for local good causes."
To take part, enter your family recipe by emailing it on a one-page A4 Word document to events@brentwood.gov.uk by Friday, April 30, 2021.
It is free to enter.
Remember to include: the title of your dish, the ingredients, the step-by-step process and a photo of your finished dish - with your family, if you like. Include your family name and location e.g. The Smith family, Blackmore.
The ‘Brentwood's Chefs at Home’ cookbook will be a paperback able to purchase in the summer by way of a £5 minimum donation.
