The event is open to all aspiring chefs in the district aged 14-18 years old. Based on the TV series, the competition will give some of Breckland's best young cooks the chance to become the Miss or MasterChef of Breckland 2010.
The prize for the grand final winner will be a personal one-to-one cookery lesson with Tina Pemberton, head chef at Brovey Lair restaurant in Ovington - recently voted the best fish restaurant in the UK. The winner will also cook for three guests of their choice at Tina's restaurant.
To enter, youngsters must submit details of a three-course meal that they enjoy cooking, and explain why these courses are their favourite.
