A budding Co Tyrone chef has come out on top in a prestigious competition to find the most talented cooks from across the UK.
Killeeshil teen Kristen Nugent, 15, beat her competition to win Springboard’s FutureChef title after a tense final at Westminster Kingsway College in London this week.
During the final stage of the competition, the competitors had 2 hours and 45 minutes to prepare a main course and dessert for a panel of industry-leading judges, including Adam Handling, Nieves Barragan Mohacho and 2023 National Chef of the Year Ben Murphy.
