A TEAM representing Samuel Jackman Prescod Polytechnic (SJPP), competing for the first time, were declared winners of the Junior Chef Schools Challenge at Agrofest.
The SJPP’s Janee Denny and Kemar Husbands beat out Bryan Seale and Kareem Alkins of St Leonard’s Boys’ and Darryl Jordan Secondary’s Bretnol Archibald and Shamar Griffith in Sunday’s finals.
Chef Peter Edey, who coordinated the event, said the winners would participate in the Caribbean Junior Challenge later in the year.
The finalists were each given a mystery basket to produce “two plates” within 35 minutes.
The competition was witnessed by a large audience, including teachers, family and friends of the students.
