A TEAM made up of three members from Gower YFC made the most of tasty local produce when they cooked up the winning three-course meal at the Glamorgan YFC cookery competition during the county YFC Rally, held at Slade Farm Organics, St Brides Major.

The competition, sponsored by NFU Cymru, required each team to prepare and display dishes for a home cooked dinner for an Anniversary Celebration. The teams were marked on their hygiene, safety, time management and teamwork as well as for their culinary skills and the finished dishes.

Mirain Lloyd, Cadi Trick and Nia Davies cooked a mouthwatering meal which comprised of Gower Saltmarsh Lamb.

Abi Reader, NFU Cymru Glamorgan County Chairman said, “NFU Cymru was proud to sponsor this competition. It was obvious that the talented YFC members not only thoroughly enjoyed the competition but also learned a lot about sourcing local food and preparing a healthy and nutritious meal that a family could enjoy.”

Second prize was awarded to Wick YFC team, with the team from Gelligaer YFC coming third.

Thanking NFU Cymru for sponsoring the competition, Glamorgan YFC Rally committee chairperson, Natalie Lewis, said, “Rally Day is one of the highlights on our calendar of events. It’s the busiest competition day that really shows what young farmers is all about; members working together and putting their skills to the test.

“We are extremely grateful to NFU Cymru for its continued support and for its £200 sponsorship toward this competition. Without the support of local businesses and organisations we would not be able to host such events and competitions for local rural young people.”
