Many of you already know that my recipe won the annual World Porridge Making Championship Specialty Award in Carrbridge, Scotland earlier this month, but I want to share my recipe with you so you can make it and taste this wonderful dessert for yourself. I wasn’t the only Specialty winner though, because for the first time, the judges simply couldn’t decide between my sweet dessert and another savory “risotto” dish and decided to choose two winners! I couldn’t be happier to share the limelight with Chef Chris Young from Perthshire Oatcakes, who created his Wild Mushroom Pinhead Risotto using oats! Here we are with the traditional winner and Porridge Masters winner (special event for the 21st anniversary of the Golden Spurtle) on BBC News!
For the 21st time, The Golden Spurtle competition took place in the beautiful village of Carrbridge, in the Highlands of Scotland where the country is so beautiful, and everyone so warm and friendly, that I just didn’t want to leave. In case you do not know what a spurtle is, it is a wooden stick which is used to stir porridge. Here is the trophy which is given to the winner of the traditional porridge contest.
My mother was traveling with me (the trip was a gift from my brother and me to celebrate her 65th birthday earlier this year), and I had booked us in to stay at the Carrmoor Guest House. This was incredibly lucky for us because we could not get over how wonderful Christine and Michael were in making us feel at home. When Christine handed me the keys to our room, she told me we were in room 5 and I immediately said, “That’s my favorite number!” To which Christine replied, “That means you’re going to win!” and she was right! Michael let me borrow some ramekins and they were both so helpful with anything I needed while participating in the porridge contest.
