The cracking event was held at Manchester Metropolitan University on 4 September, as part of a competition to find the new ‘Face of Eggs’, which received more than 500 entries. This has been narrowed down to 12 finalists in each region who will compete across UK kitchens throughout September.
Nigel Skinkis, Executive Chef and Director at the Clough Manor Hotel, was on hand to judge the finalists on their ability to poach the perfect egg and create a signature dish using British Lion eggs. Winner Vicky whipped up a perfect poached egg followed by her signature dish of Smoked Salmon Carbonarish.
Vicky will now compete against regional winners from across the UK in the Eggs Factor final in London on 6 October. Michelin-starred celebrity chef Paul Merrett will be drawing on his expertise to decide just who will be crowned the ‘Face of Eggs 2008’.
