The British Virgin Island’s very own Tara Hodge is competing in the Carla Hall Favorite Chef Competition. This passionate local chef aims to let her island-infused dishes shine alongside talented culinary artists from around the world.
Hosted by celebrity chef and TV personality Carla Hall, the contest offers an extraordinary grand prize – the winner will grace the cover of the Taste of Home magazine, cook side-by-side with the hosting chef, and take home a possibly life-changing $25,000.
For Hodge, the inspiration to cook comes straight from the heart – her family’s love for the kitchen. “My family and our love for the kitchen inspires me most,” she shared.
“I enjoy an infusion of urban and Caribbean dishes, hence making it very difficult to have one favorite dish,” Hodge explained.
If this talented BVIslander emerges victorious, she plans to invest the $25,000 grand prize into making her long-held dream a reality. “I would jumpstart my long-time dream of owning a mobile catering company on wheels,” Hodge revealed.
As Tara Hodge brings the vibrant flavors of her island home to an international audience, the entire British Virgin Islands community is encouraged to support her journey by voting for her success using the link below.
