Max wins again in Kids Can Cook
The annual Kids Can Cook competition, part of the Bay of Islands P&I Show at Waimate North, was won this year by 11-year-old Max Donaldson from Takou Bay. For the final round Max made Chinese-style mince dumplings using dough he made himself. The keen cook also took out the top prize in 2013. Second place went to his little brother Ben Burges. The seven-year-old made pancakes filled with his own rhubarb compote. Eight-year-old Yukhta Patel of Paihia came third with a chicken and rice dish, while Kawakawa’s Paige Naylor, 11, was fourth with a gluten-free meatball surprise. All four had made it through the heats earlier in the day.
