With over 2,000 copies sold, Cooking for Competition is a unique book of guidelines for judges wishing to brush up on skills and exhibitors wanting to know the basics of presentation of cookery for shows and exhibitions. "A way to get an inside view of judging. An excellent little book." Matt Preston in The Age's Epicure section. Cooking for Competition: What the Judges Are Looking For was written by Joan Graham in collaboration with Doreen Moore, both of whom have had wide experience as competitors, stewards and judges. Through years of involvement in agricultural shows and other exhibitions, the writers found ever increasing evidence of the lack of information on presentation of show cookery. The interest shown in the idea for this book has been overwhelming. Cooking for Competition: What the Judges Are Looking For is for all cooks, from the experienced to the very young, who wish to try their hand at the lovely art of home cooking, and it is hoped that it will encourage many people to enter their exhibits in local and state competitions. About the Author: Joan Graham and Doreen Moore have been associated with the Australian Rice Industry for many years through growing rice in the Murray Valley. Joan's late husband Greg was president of the Ricegrowers Association of Australia at the time of his death in 1983.
