UnderCurrent is always happy to see Australians getting a kick out of appliances, especially when they’re being rewarded for prowess in the kitchen. In fact, winning $7,000 worth of Beko appliances for coming up with a good recipe seems like a great way to show off said prowess.
The prize was awarded as part of Betta Home Living’s Matthew Hayden Cooking Competition, which offered one lucky winner the chance to create their own “Dream Kitchen” with $7,000 worth of Beko products from their local Betta store.
The winner was Brisbane resident Kristine Menzel who beat out the competition and won the affections of a former test cricketer.
"It was the winning combination of simplicity, versatility, fresh produce and spices that edged Kristine Menzel’s recipe ahead of the pack," said BSR Australia Limited CEO, Graeme Cunningham. "Her tantalising Thai green prawn curry had everyone’s mouth-watering, including Matthew Hayden.”
Prawns? How very highbrow! UnderCurrent thought Matt Hayden could have been won over with good old fashioned Duck a l’Orange.
But maybe duck brings up bad memories for a cricketer…
