Updated 19/02/2016

A second year Catering student from Gower College Swansea has received a Bronze medal at a recent competition held in North Wales.

Emma Ahlsted participated in the Welsh Culinary Championships where she prepared pan fried sea bass, chicken mechoui and apple crumble tatin.

“It was a very intense experience,” says Learning Area Manager Mark Clement. “The competition, which was streamed live on YouTube, required Emma to prepare a three course menu for two people using the specific ingredients which were provided - sea bass, chicken and apples.”

Pleased with her achievements, Emma, who is currently studying Level 2 Professional Cookery, added: “It’s been amazing, I have learned so much in the past two days. I cannot wait to enter another competition!”

“I am very proud of Emma...sincerely well done,” says lecturer and mentor Ioan Lodwig.
