You have 500 characters to tell us why you should win Cheffactor:
For as long as I can remember I have loved cooking and baking for family and friends.My Dad is a baker and two of my uncles are involved in the food business so it has always been a huge part of my life. My ambition has always been to open my own cafe/bakery/deli where I can produce the foods and desserts I love using great local produce!The cookery school at Ballymaloe would be the perfect place for me to learn techniques and the best way to use ingredients, & help me achieve a lifelong dream!
You have 500 characters to tell us about your dish:
I love slow cooked meat dishes in the winter, and this one is great as beef cheeks are so inexpensive - four cheeks are about €6 and will feed four people!I halve the cheeks and brown them in olive oil, then cook them with onions, carrots, celery, leeks, a bottle of red wine, a splash of port and some fresh herbs and let them simmer away for up to 2 hours until you can cut the meat with a spoon!On the side is garlic and rosemary polenta cake and sauteed rainbow chard.Great for a Wintry Sunday!

Brilliant hun good luck
Good luck Rach, it looks super tasty! Holly x
Mmmmmm peanut butter & chocolate cake....
Lol I know it was devoured! Wasn't sure if I should mention it in the entry in case it was a bit cheeky putting in a second thing!It's chocolate cake with peanut butter buttercream frosting, a chocolate ganache glaze and white chocolate writing. Only for special occasions though, the frosting takes a lot of patience to work with it tends to want to stick to itself more than it wants to stick to the cake!
That cake looks amazing did you make that too???
Yup I did indeed, l picked up a few tips from my Dad over the years - apparently when I was little I used to sit on the turntable you use for icing cakes and twirl myself around to amuse myself while he was working =D
Wishing you the very best of luck in this!!! You truly can cook and you make everything mouth waterinly good!!!! I really hope that you get through to the finals, because it is only then that Cully & Sully, not to mention all The Allens, will realise what a talent you have!!!! Wishing you the very Best!!! Ross
