There will be three teams chosen as runners up who will each WIN a Tilda rice hamper for their kitchen.

2024 Winners

Last year’s competition focused on data from the FAO, which found that a third of all food produced worldwide ends up in the trash, with chef teams challenged to create a menu using a by-product or something that would usually end up in the bin.

Brett Seagrave and Gareth Williams of Compass Group UK were last year’s crowned winners, creating a show stopping, sustainable dish using Tilda’s Arborio Risotto rice, utilising cod’s head as the food waste element.
For dessert, the duo created a rice pudding with over-ripe bananas and Tilda’s Pure Basmati rice.

TILDA’S AMBIENT RANGE

Our ambient rice range has been chosen for this year’s competition, offering versatile options for the chef team’s menus.

We use a milling process which filters to eliminate starch and broken grains in all of our rice products to produce the highest quality every time, which cooks up light and separate.

Our basmati range is gluten free, vegan and vegetarian, creating an ideal solution in your kitchen and across your menus.
