It wasn't Master Chef or My Kitchen Rules, but on Saturday the competition between four teams of budding young chefs was just as entertaining. The youngsters went head-to-head in the Northland Regional Final of the Rabobank Root to Tip cooking competition in an effort to make the national finals of theevent. Three of the finalists come from Ruakākā Primary School, one from Riverview School in Kerikeri.
