Inter-House

Competition

With just 1 hour and 30

minutes to cook and plate,

teamwork and quick

thinking were crucial.

Tamara Onitsha (Year 11 Senegal) relects on her
experience participating in the just concluded
Inter-House Cooking Competition

he Regent Secondary School’s
Inter-House Cooking Competition
Twas an unforgettable experience,
and I was thrilled to be part of it!
This year’s theme was Yemeni cuisine, but we
only found out we would be making Mandi

the moment we stepped into the kitchen.
With just 1 hour and 30 minutes to cook and
plate one of the most technically demanding
dishes in the Arabic world, teamwork and
quick thinking were everything. Getting the
rice right, the meat tender, and the spices
balanced under that kind of time pressure
was no joke.

As the judges made their way around the
plates, the tension was real.Hearing our
house announced as joint winners was
an incredible moment. Sharing the victory
made it even sweeter, honestly. Beyond the
result, I walked away with new skills, a deeper
appreciation for Yemeni food, and memories

I will not forget in a hurry.
