As if fans could love Gary Mehigan any more than they already do, this claim to fame restaurateur and Master Chef judge has paired up with BRITA with their new Better With Brita campaign and Home Cooking Series to give fans the ultimate once in a lifetime cooking experience!
Through this campaign, the secret ingredient behind Gary’s several recipes is simple: filtered water. Gary’s focus on creating delicious, fresh, and memorable recipes are highlighted by the benefits of cooking with filtered water that goes far beyond the purpose of just hydration.
As part of this campaign, fans who purchased a BRITA product were directed to go online to www.BetterWithBrita.com to enter their details and vote on their favourite recipe. They were then entered into a draw to several instant wins of BODUM cooking packs, along with the ultimate prize of a money can’t buy cooking experience with the legend himself.
And on Saturday, December 13th, there was something special stirring around the Prahan market. 12 Competition winners along with media, bloggers, a fellow foodie and myself, were escorted by Gary himself on a culinary adventure. From the fish munger, to the potato enthusiast, to the free-range egg expert, we danced around the market all afternoon, listening to each food connoisseur as they educated us on the good word of their particular expertise. Listening ever so attentively, eyes wide open, grin from ear to ear (and nearly salivating), Gary and experts had a way with words, a passion for food that beautifully beamed from within –I was in heaven.
With my continuous free fall onto Cloud 9, we were then brought to The Essential Ingredient cooking school for a personal cooking lesson with Gary, where we were set on a mission of not only cooking, but also indulging in our delicious three-course creations with filtered water being the key ingredient in the recipes.
