A PONTELAND High School student will be heading to Dundee this weekend to compete in the regional final of a young chef competition.
Year 9 student Sabrina Jackland scooped first prize in the county heat of the Rotary Young Chef Competition, held at Duchess High School in Alnwick on Saturday, February 11.
She fought off competition from contenders from local heats across the county, coming out triumphant with her menu of stuffed portobello mushrooms, chicken arrabiata pasta and baked cinnamon apples.
Elaine Smith, who leads the area’s Rotary Youth Service, offered her congratulations to ‘a talented young lady’.
Nichola Gray, raising achievement deputy for technology at Ponteland High School, said: “Sabrina is a very talented young chef and she deserved to win both heats.
“The amount of planning and preparation she has put into the competition has been impressive.”
Sabrina will now take part in the Rotary Young Chef regional final, which will be held in Dundee tomorrow.
