We attended @SodexoUK_IRE and @FoxesAcademy first ever Springboard FutureChef Competition in Minehead! 👏 14 young adults with additional needs took part across 7 different kitchens. In their teams of 2, they were tasked to create a main meal and dessert.

Having a few days off! Back home in the south of France doing some food shopping!
