Becky Allcorn, from Hanover Housing Rotary Lodge care home, in St Botolph’s Road, Worthing, triumphed in the south east regional heat after impressing judges with her menu of stuffed chicken parcel (lactose free) followed by orange and cranberry lactose free bread and butter pudding

The brief required Becky to produce a tasty and nutritionally balanced two-course menu, main and dessert, suitable for service users in a care setting and with a total food cost of no more than £1.50 per head based on four portions, in just 90 minutes.
