Lab's MasterChef Competition

February 7th, 2020

The stakes were high, the kitchen was hot, the flavours were bold.

The lab had a cook-off, MasterChef style, as a teambuilding activity during the retreat. Here are some of the highlights:

The winning team was Phagealicious (Luisa, Nando, Wai Hoe, Sofia and Laura) with their menu of seared fish, Asian-style prawns, and passion fruit cheesecake. The Phage Gourmet (Marion, Dinesh, John, Fang and Ciaren) came very close with their egg dumplings, lamb curry, and chocolate cupcakes. But we all know that the real winners were the judges (Julien, Charlie, Tim, Christina and Jeremy)
