WYC Cadet cooks on TV!

Posted: Monday, 08 March, 2021

Turn on CBBC tomorrow at 5pm and you may see a familiar face! Whitstable Yacht Club cadet sailor Anya Goodman is taking part in the Children's BBC show Step Up to the Plate, in which eight young contestants battle it out to see if they've got the skills to run their own restaurant, no matter what obstacles are put in their way. Anya, who can often be seen sailing Toppers and Aeros off Whitstable and taking part in Cadet activities was crowned 2019 Kent Young Cooks Champion, and was then invited to cook her dishes at a VIP lunch at The Dog at Wingham. There were apparently 1000 applicants for Step Up to the Plate, and filming took place just before lockdown 2. Tune in on Tuesdays at 5pm to see her progress, or catch up on the BBC iPlayer. Good luck Anya!
