Can you face the heat of the kitchen? Ready Steady Cook comes to Leeds

In aid of Candlelighters, Yorkshire’s children’s cancer charity, an exciting interactive cookery challenge is coming to Leeds.

Hosted by Great British Bake Off contestant Briony May Williams, there are still a few spots left to join Ready Steady Cook.

For an incredible cause, the evening will challenge 20 eager teams to compete to create a two-course meal in two hours.

Ready Steady Cook winners

Using surplus ingredients supplied by Company Shop Group, each team will receive the same bag of ingredients and have access to additional ‘pantry items’.

Judges will evaluate the dishes, with prizes awarded for 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place.

After the heat of the competition is done, all participants can sit down to enjoy in a 5-course tasting menu, served by Leeds City College.

There’s an option to invite additional guests to the meal for an additional £30 per head.
