Community Healthy BBQ Challenge
Community Healthy BBQ Challenge is a fun light hearted event to bring people together and raise awareness of healthy eating, with the help of a good old fashioned BBQ.
Participants (either local chefs/cooks or people pre-selected/arranged from the audience on the day) will be provided with a variety of ingredients and will have 30 minutes to prepare a healthy BBQ meal. All meals will be judged, with the most imaginative and healthy meal selected as the winner.
