CAMP COOK OFF - THE 2014 SCENARIO
Club members were getting so good at cooking a gourmet meal first night out from home that we’ve had to make things a bit more challenging this year!
IMAGINE: You left home on your motor cycle three days ago. You’ve travelled way out bush. There are no shops anywhere along the route. You’ve taken ingredients with you that are suitable to be packed in your gear for three days without being refrigerated. It is the end of your third day on the road when you arrive at our camp site.
YOUR MISSION: To cook a main meal to impress from ingredients that have been packed in your gear and have travelled on your bike with you for three days. Your main meal must: be safe to consume; be nutritious; look good enough to eat and taste great.
THE RULES
•1. To enter the 2014 BMW MCC WA Camp Cook-Off you must be a current financial member of the club. Non-members are not eligible to compete or win prizes in this competition.
•2. Entrants to the 2014 Camp Cook-Off must carry all their camping gear, cooking ingredients, cooking utensils and cooking equipment to the camp site on their motorcycle.
•3. Meal preparation may commence from 4pm and cooking must be completed by no later than 6.45pm.
•4. Entrants must display their cooking ingredients, utensils and cooking equipment for the judges to view (marks will be allocated for suitability of ingredients for use three days into the trip), prior to commencing preparation of the main meal.
•5. Your main meal must be created from ‘scratch’ i.e. no prior preparation such as marinading etc. is to occur outside the camp site.
•6. As a minimum, you need to cook enough to feed yourself and a small portion for tasting by the judges.
•7. Your main meal must be presented to the judges for tasting between 6pm and 7pm.
•8. The judges will not tolerate much bribery. The judges’ decisions are final and will not be negotiated.
CAMP COOK OFF - JUDGES SCORING GUIDE
Contestants will be awarded points for the main meal they prepare based on the following:
•· Suitability of ingredients to cook a main meal after being packed on the motor bike for three days of riding.
•· Use of ‘basic’ ingredients only i.e. no pre-prepared ingredients or commercial mixes (eg: pancakes made from scratch rather than from a packaged commercial mix).
•· Nutritional value of your main meal – remember that there are five food groups that should make up your meal.
•· Planning and presentation of your meal.
•· Creativity.
WHAT ABOUT THE MOTORCYCLES?
Choose your own route to the event pending your penchant for the dirt or bitumen. It is a good idea to clock your mileage – there might be a prize to be won.
Sealed road riders – if you travel via bitumen on the Goldfields Road, turn south onto the Carter Doodenanning Road, then there is 1km of good gravel road from the turnoff into the Doodenanning Road to the Hall site. (Same applies if you travel via the Quairading York Road, then Doodenanning Mawson Road, then left onto Doodenanning Road).
Non-riders / non-members are very welcome. Why not bring your partner or the whole family along? There’s ample camping space and access to flushing toilets and running water! Even some man-made shelter if required.
PRIZES
Each year our sponsors donate a range of great prizes that members entering the Camp Cook-Off are eligible to win. In past years prizes have included camping gear, apparel, professional services and the major prize of a motor bike jacket. Be in it to win it and when you can, please support the Club’s very generous sponsors.
This year we will also have some ‘fun’ competitions for everyone – entry by gold coin – with more prizes to be won.
