A CHEF who trained in the North-East has cooked up a storm in a culinary competition.
David Carr, 29, went to Yarm Grammar School before taking a cookery course at Darlington College of Technology.
He has since moved to Keighley, in West Yorkshire, where he is working at the Angel Inn, Hetton.
His work has caught the eyes of the judges of the national Roux Scholarship for young chefs and he has won through to the regional finals.
Mr Carr will prepare his winning recipe in front of the judges next month.
He plans to cook pan-seared and steamed mackerel fillets, served on a bed of roast Mediterranean vegetables and soft herb risotto with a petite herb salad, finished with salsa verde and caramelised lemon.
If he gets through to the final and wins the scholarship, he will be given £2,500 and up to three months training at a three Michelin-starred establishment in Europe, as well as trips to the Caribbean, France, and Italy.
