The judging panel at the Rabobank Root to Tip Northland final included last years national winners Holly Patterson and Madyson Picard, of Parua Bay School.

The judging panel at the Rabobank Root to Tip Northland final included last years national winners Holly Patterson and Madyson Picard, of Parua Bay School.

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 the
event. Three of the finalists come from Ruakākā Primary School, one from Riverview School in Kerikeri.

And after some intense competition Ruakāka students Cory Whitehead and Tai Morris were judged the winners.

The final was held at NorthTec Raumanga Campus, Whangārei, on Saturday and Advocate Photographer Tania Whyte went along.
