Dessert wins the Hellmanns's Vinaigrette Design a Dish competition

James Thompson, 25-year-old junior sous chef at Huddersfield’s Cedar Court hotel, beat off four other finalists with his innovative dessert, Lemon Meringue Pie with Fresh Raspberries using one of Hellmann’s new vinaigrettes. It attracted more than one third of the public vote in the **Unilever **contest.

“It’s the first time I’ve entered a competition like this, so I felt inspired to create something different,” commented Thompson. “I decided to use Hellmann’s Citrus Vinaigrette to create a delicious dessert. The product is simply fantastic â€" it’s so versatile and adds real ‘wow’ factor to dishes.”

Thompson wins a trip to New York while his recipe will be highlighted in Hellmann’s new online interactive magazine, Best Dressed.

Hellmann’s sophisticated line of two-phase vinaigrettes, launched last year, also offers Balsamic, Basil, Raspberry and Sesame Soy flavours.
