Ready Steady Cook Hive Challenge Results!

What fun! We thoroughly enjoyed the Ready Steady Cook Hive Challenge ... except for the judging which was fairly impossible with so many incredibly creative and delicious looking dishes!

We had four countries and all ages represented! It was so much fun to have friends with us from Vancouver, Canada, North Carolina, USA, Ireland, and various places across the UK. Unfortunately our friends in Tanzania couldn't make it, but Tanzania was well represented with people who had lived there! 

The very international Hive Challenge!

I know you want to see the amazing things these chefs all came up with...

Everyone had a limit of 5 ingredients and the dish had to include HONEY.

Getting Ready...

Everyone had 60 minutes to make their dish before we all came back together to share the results. Zoom is fantastic for bringing people together from all over the world, but it really doesn't work when you want to taste all the amazing things you see on the screen!

This beautiful Honey Cake with only 3 ingredients won the Challenge!
They invincibly lived up to their name as the Honey Badgers!

So all in all, some really incredible results and such a lot of fun! We can't say enough how grateful we are for all the support to HelpTheHive! And to see all these fabulous friends tonight buzzing in kitchen ... it was just amazing! Thank you so much! 

We really missed Rachel, from Basingstoke, who had planned to join us and sadly ended up in hospital. We are praying for you, Rachel! But what was amazing, was communicating with Rachel as the Challenge was about to begin, and with her nurse, Nuru, who was from Tanzania! So we had Swahili going back and forth through Rachel on What'sApp and were chatting about Tanzanian cooking! It turns out Nuru's sister lives in Mwanza and so we were giving Nuru directions for The Hive for when she goes to visit! What a lovely connection!
