From the Korea team there was braised beef short rib lettuce wraps and a green tea ice cream dessert.

The big winner of the night was team Mediterranean who served up treats like a sundried tomato marinated chicken popsicle and roasted vegetable tower with a balsamic reduction.

In addition to tasting delicious food, guests were able to participate in a raffle for some great prizes from local businesses such as a selection of wines, and the big prize was a one night stay at the Prince Wales Hotel in Waterton National Park.
