Brentwood's "Chefs at Home" community lockdown cookbook competition

Submit your recipes by April 30, 2021

Brentwood Borough Council is launching a competition to create a community Lockdown cookbook and raise funds for charity. The Brentwood “Chefs at Home” cookbook will feature 50 recipes created by residents from the borough. The aim is to bring the community together in a fun, healthy and creative way by sharing family favourites.

Residents are encouraged to submit their recipes from which 50 will be chosen by the Deputy Mayor of Brentwood to go into the book which will be published and sold to raise funds for the Mayor’s chosen charities. With many families using time in lockdown to take up and develop culinary skills this is the chance to put a spin on a traditional recipe or submit a new creative bake.

Your submitted recipe must include

• Title of your dish
• Ingredients
• Step by Step process
• Photo of your recipe - with your family if you like!
• Family name and location e.g. The Smith Family, Blackmore

To take part, enter your family recipe by emailing it on a one page A4 word document to events@brentwood.gov.uk, by April 30, 2021. It is free to enter. 

The ‘Brentwood's Chefs at Home’ cookbook will be a paperback able to purchase in the summer by way of a £5 minimum donation
