Chilli lovers will be in for a treat at a forthcoming event.
The first heat of the Great British Chilli Cook Off will be taking place at the Mansion House in Old Warden on the weekend of Saturday, June 8 and Sunday, June 9.
The cook-off will see teams of up to four each preparing a gallon of chilli con carne from their own recipes which will be judged by an expert panel.
The hottest chilli won’t necessarily be the winner as judges will be looking for the best appearance, aroma, consistency, taste and aftertaste.
The winning team will receive a cash prize of £250 and entry into the final of the UK Chilli Cook Off which will be held later this year.
The winners of the UK final will win an all-expenses-paid trip to Las Vegas to represent the UK in the World Chilli Cook Off event.
The public will also be invited to sample and judge the best chilli. Proceeds from the public judging will be donated to CLIC Sargent, the UK’s leading cancer charity for children and young people.
