Our Keen Home Cook winner, Sofia Gallo, impressed the judges with her Italian dishes that were an ode to her childhood.

​

"It took a little to realise what had just happened. Entering the competition was a way of challenging myself but also showcasing my love for my culinary heritage in the best possible way. Winning was a great achievement as a person and as a possible future professional cook. For me particularly, it means that being true to my values and what I have set myself to do for the future, is the right path."​​

​

"If you are only thinking about applying, don't think, just do it. You will be welcomed by a warm team and a very helpful organiser who will make you feel at ease."
