Flavourphotos Vegan Food Photography

Vegan Catering Challenge - competition photographs

Six finalists battled to impress judges at the cook-off final of the Vegan Society Catering Challenge on Mon 27 Oct 2008. The chefs proved that great vegan food is a truly gourmet experience.
The six finalists were watched and judged throughout the day by Chad Sarno of Saf Restaurant, Christine Tilbury of the Cordon Vert Cookery School and Andrew Maxwell of Tante Marie School of Cookery. The winners were officially announced on World Vegan Day (Sat 1 Nov 2008) at the West Midlands Vegan Festival in Wolverhampton.

flavourphotos was there to capture the six finalists slaving over hot stoves during the day. The challenge for the chefs was to produce the most delicious, creative vegan food. The challenge for me was to photograph these eighteen dishes, that appeared from the kitchen in the space of 30 minutes! What a challenge, what an adrenalin rush, what fun!
