Students at Bradford University served up a treat in a cook-off challege.

They were invited to bake or cook bite-sized portions of their favourite national dish for the chance to become the Team Bradford International Cook Off champion.

More than 20 students entered dishes from Moussaka to Jumby Bean soup, Drayneke to red bean porridge, as well as a variety of curries.

The panel of judges included Sodexo head chef from the University Matthew Greaves, director of international development William Mitchell and international students’ officer Tian Bu.

The winning team was announced was the University’s Romanian Society – Adelaida Afilipoaie, Ruxandra Busaiu, Arca Tutuianu and Geanina Petre – who produced a polenta stew ‘Tocanita & Mamaliga’ with a ‘Chec’ cake for dessert.

Tian said: “The coming together of all these different nationalities to celebrate their culture through the range of dishes filled Student Central with a real buzz, an incredibly appetising smell and a real sense of celebrating different cultures from around the world.”

The winning dish will soon be available on the menus at the University’s catering outlets.
