NFYFC’s Cookery Finalists are including rare and native breeds in their dishes today as their challenge is to cook a four-course meal fit for a Rare Breeds Survival Trust Gala Dinner. We caught up with RBST’s Conservation Coordinator Hannah Knowles to see what she thought of the entries so far. Hannah will be judging the displays today. The perfect competition for #BritishFoodFortnight to celebrate Great British produce! #trueYFC #GoNative #rarebreeds #malvernautumn #youngfarmers #yfc #cookery #
