Better with BRITA winners announced

October 2, 2014 by Katie Bryson

Better with BRITA logo
You may remember back in the sunshine of early summer, the Better with BRITA competition launched on the look out for foodie superstars.

BRITA wanted to discover cooks, bakers and food makers from across the country who shared their passion for making great food as it ought to be. Each of the entrants used filtered water to get the best taste possible and a wide range of recipes made it into the top 10 shortlist.

At the end of July there was a live cook off where the 10 finalists were invited to cook for a panel of five expert judges. From crusty pies to decorative cupcakes, Rebecca from delicious magazine, Felicity from Big Feastival, Fiona from the Kids’ Cookery School, Lucy from BRITA and Karen from Lavender and Lovage had a tough time choosing their favorite three recipes.

But the three winners were:

Emily’s cupcakes
Emily
At 15 Emily was the youngest person to enter the competition. Emily used to run her own baking website, Emily’s Home Bakes, but gave it up to concentrate on her GCSE’s. The judges were impressed with the bespoke cupcakes she designed for each of the judges, especially a miniature BRITA water jug made out of icing.

Alex’s gluten-free brownies
Alex
Alex created his gluten-free brownies after discovering that there was a lack of sweet treats available for his gluten intolerant sister. He’s passionate about people enjoying food and wanted to get the best out of his ingredients by using BRITA filtered water. The judges loved the moist chocolate centre of the brownies, as well as the interesting addition of peanut butter.

Rekha’s samosas
Rekha
Rekha’s samosas are handcrafted, from the spices to the pastry, to ensure a perfect parcel of taste. Her creations are a favorite amongst her local farmers markets as people love her Indian cooking style. She’s a perfectionist cook and ensures a golden glow by using the best ingredients, including BRITA filtered water.

The three winners received a BRITA tap to enable them to continue to discover the results of cooking with filtered water and they used a BRITA Talori tap at the cook-off. BRITA taps are the most convenient way to get filtered water in the kitchen.

Each winner also attended the Big Feastival at the BRITA stand between 29th and 31st August. They sold their delicacies to the hungry crowds, where they were snapped up in no time!

Well done to the much deserved winners from Feeding Boys 🙂

Disclosure: I was selected to be a BRITA Ambassador to help promote their special competition with Delicious Magazine and have been compensated for the time spent on this project.

Beautiful little book the audience were all given Beautiful little book the audience were all given at last night’s performance of #Here from @curious.monkey_ at @northern_stage. Such a powerful performance from the talented cast bringing together individual stories of what it means to seek sanctuary in the North East, the friendships that are forged and the spark of hope that refuses to be snuffed out. With the plight of refugees so visible right now,  the timing of this performance was impeccable. #RefugeesWelcome #togetherwithrefugees🧡 #StoryCollectors
