Not sure how many of you saw the Grande Finale but the bookies were right and a foodie won!
Congrats to @Scandilicious who created an edible piece of art.

How am I supposed to compete with this?
I was lucky enough to get second place with my linguine vongole (to go with the Casillero Sauvignon Blanc). Very proud indeed, but I did get a bit of help from Thierry and Jimmy the two chefs on hand.
Fresh clams always look good in photos
For the Casillero Cabernet I made two different types of meat balls. The first was a more traditional style with garlic, onion and loads of herb. The other was a bit more interesting, during the day we found that stilton went very well with the Cabernet, so I made meatballs which had stilton inside…very nouvelle cuisine pour moi but it worked.

All in all, I learnt loads about food preparation and better yet met some high aspiring food bloggers along the way. You can still see the videos and loads more photos on the Casillero Kitchen Challenge website.
Thanks to all involved Cube, Casillero, the folks at The Kitchen and of course Rob for the tech!
