Bill Marriott’s idea for a cook-off was inspired by the region-wide cooking contest in Marriott kitchens across Europe. Teams of chefs were given a box filled with random ingredients that they used to create a three-course meal. The Forest of Arden, a Marriott Hotel & Country Club in Birmingham, England came out on top. Their meal consisted of a trio of salmon as a starter, a taster of game as the entrée, and a lemon meringue tart with raspberry mayonnaise strawberry sorbet and Chantilly cream for dessert.

The specifics of the recipe are up to you--it can be a main course or side. You're also free to use flour, spices, herbs, milk, butter, oil, etc. Good luck!

Good morning! One of our chefs wants to enter the competition. Does he need to prepare a dish, or a 3 course meal? Can you please let us know? Thank you!

Are these the only ingredients that we can use or can we add in additional ingredients?

Is this to be a single item, or a main course and a side dish?
