Egg-citement at Heidel Eggs Corporate Cook-off
All participants were given the same ingredients from which to choose, with the exception of one secret ingredient that they could bring along and had to declare to the judges. The one prerequisite was that eggs had to be featured in the meal.
The Heidel Eggs Corporate Cook-Off was held at the Bagdad Centre recently.
Many prominent businesses came together to show off their culinary prowess and to win the ultimate prize – a week away at the Heidel Egg Holiday House in Bilene, Mozambique. This prize went to overall winners Team Delish of Headoffice SA.
Teams were made up of four members, who had to bring their A game and impress the judges, from local chefs and well-known business owners.
