Twelve home cooks took part in a live cooking challenge using Bairaha chicken products at a food expo in Colombo.
The Home Cooking Challenge took place during the Pro-Food Pro-Pack & Agbiz 2026 trade expo at BMICH from August 21 to 23.
The Sri Lanka Food Processors’ Association (SLFPA) organised the challenge as part of the three-day expo.
The event gave selected home cooks a chance to show their cooking skills in front of a public audience.
12 home cooks compete
The 12 participants prepared different chicken dishes using Bairaha products.
Each participant brought their own ideas and cooking skills to the competition. They also used fresh ingredients provided for the event.
A panel of chefs and cooking experts judged the dishes. The winners received gifts and prizes at the end of the competition.
The challenge also gave home cooks a chance to take part in a professional food event.
For many participants, it was an opportunity to show their skills to a wider audience.
