Chow Down to Eurovision 2014 -Winner

The votes are in and have been counted (gotta love an Excel spreadsheet) and we have a clear winner of Chow Down to Eurovision 2014. 

 

Before I announce the winner I'd just like to thank everyone who voted and offered suggestions for Chow Down to Eurovision 2015.....I can't wait!

 

In true Eurovision fashion I'm not just going to announce the winner......we must have a bit of an interval act, which traditional now seems to be a cake of the contest theme logo.

 

If you are reading this and have scored the job of designing the logo for Eurovision 2015 in Austria, please be kind and think of how a little Aussie baker is going to have to recreate it in cake.......

 



The stage was set and this year's logo cake was going to be dramatic.

No one was harmed in the making of this cake but it ended up soaked from the hose putting out the fire!

Don't try this at home kids!

 

 

And the Winner of Chow Down to Eurovision 2014 is.......LATVIA!!!!!!!!!!!

Latvia had a cake to bake and it crowned them 2014 champions, well done Latvia!

 

 

 

 

Here is the final leader board

 

 

We will now resume normal Don't Boil The Sauce broadcasting till Chow Down to Eurovision 2015



Chow Down to Eurovision 2013 - The Party's Over Now..........but not for long

It's hard to believe but Eurovision 2013 has already been sung and won. Well done to Emmelie de Forest with Only Teardrops, see you next year in Denmark.

I thought we'd need a final Chow Down to Eurovision 2013 post before we continue normal programming, that is until Chow Down to Eurovision 2014.

Firstly the announcement of this year's winner.

Sorry of the crazy eyes, that's the screen shot YouTube liked best??
Being truly committed to my craft not only did I record this bare foot like Emmelie de Forest but as a true professional I did it without pants too.

 

There are always superstitions and conspiracy theories that surround Eurovision and the Chow Down to Eurovision is no exception.

• Azerbaijan who won the second semi final in Malmö also won the second semi final in the chow down.

• Demark who won Eurovision was the dish I was cooking for the Chow Down when my oven broke, if I was able to read the signs I should have put a few bob on Denmark winning and that would have been the new oven paid for!!

Congratulations Norway on a well deserved and definitely a favourite.

 

Our final Eurovision hit to close off this year's Chow Down to Eurovision is from the Netherlands in  1976.
