Louis, 14, is the island's young masterchef
CULINARY contestants battled it out in the kitchen yesterday to be crowned the best young chef in the Bailiwick.
The heated final of the Rotary Young Chef Competition saw teenage competitors challenged to serve a three-course meal for two people for under £7.50 per head.
Grammar School student Louis Hollowell, 14, was the victor.
His winning meal was Thai crab spring rolls, Guernsey marinated steak and a panacotta with slow roasted plums.
'I am really pleased and surprised that I won,' he said. 'Time went so fast in the kitchen and it was tough but I was pleased with what I had made – although I did forget to put the gravy on at the end.
'I do love to cook and love cooking at home. This has definitely showed me that I don't want to do an office job when I'm older, I would consider being a chef.'
