Win a scholarship with chef Michel Roux

The owner of the Waterside Inn restaurant in Bray has announced his scholarship competition for 2009 is now open.

Michel Roux will hold his Roux Scholar contest for the 26th time next year.

Entrants are judged by a panel which includes the Roux brothers, Heston Blumenthal, original Roux Scholar Andrew Fairlie, Gary Rhodes and others.

Michel Roux Senior said of the competition: "Our panel of judges is one of the things which sets our competition aside from some other contests."

The winner of the Roux Scholarship will be mentored by the Roux family, spend three months at a Michelin three starred eatery, receive £5,000 in cash, and a host of other prizes.

Entrants must submit a recipe to serve four people using two best ends of lamb accompanied by two garnishes, one of which must be potato, and the other using one green vegetable. 
Costings must also be submitted for the dish.
