As part of the series of events of the Kékfrankos summer, on 25 August 2007, Hotel Sopron**** organises on its own yard the 1st Soproni Kékfrankos Cook King election and feast yard in order to create a tradition.

The 1st Soproni Kékfrankos cook king election and feast yard was a great success...

Bernadett Bősze, the team leader of the cooking team of Pulzus TV was awarded the cup and document conferring the title of the 1st Soproni Kékfrankos cook king in Hotel Sopron.
Ten teams and almost 100 persons fought for victory at the open-air cooking contest organised for the first time.

Teams participating at the Soproni Kékfrankos cook king election had only one condition to comply with: they could cook anything provided the kékfrankos wine is included among raw materials.

The final ranking was also subject to wine recognition and stilts walking skills contest, pancake eating, water carriage, rope-hauling, archery, doughnuts frying, wine tote, karaoke and dance contest, apart from cooking.

As the best moment of the evening, awards were given by László Horváth, hotel manager and the jury consisting of István Gálos, master cook awarded the Venesz prize, participant of the Olympic Games, Ferenc Krauszpek, master cook, participant of the Olympic Games and Zoltán Voleszák, restaurant master.

Ildikó Némethné Gara, director of Hotel Sopron**** and the inventor of the event was glad to see the elementary success of the event based on which, together with her young team, she plans to extend to a national attraction the event entitled the 1st Soproni Kékfrankos cook king election and feast yard.

The winner recipe:

"Lamb 'tokány' in Transylvanian style a' la Pulzus TV

Ingredients for 4 persons:
- 1 kg beef sirloin head (or low-fat beef or pigmeat)
- 20 dkg bacon
- fat or oil for frying
- salt and pepper as needed
- marjoram, tarragon and bay leaf
- the juice and the grated peel of 1 lemon
- mustard, tomato puree or 'piros arany'
- Soproni Kékfrankos
- some sugar
- sour cream

The preparation of the food:
I cut the onion to small pieces and roast it on fat and I add small pieces of bacon. When the onion is roasted, I put the meat cut into stripes into it. I use spices, later I put the mustard and the tomato and then I pour red wine into it.

I offer it with freshly baked bread or dumplings.

Guestbook

„The team of Pulzus TV had an excellent time in Hotel Sopron! The fantastic atmosphere made the afternoon unforgettable. Up to midnight, there was hardly any moment when we could not find anything from among the several witty tasks. Congratulations for the professional organisation since there were 10 teams in the competition, each of which with a minimum of 6 persons, and, still, there were no delays in the programmes. And the fact that, in the end, we became the first Soproni Kékfrankos cook king, was the finest moment of the day."

Although I congratulated you in person, too, now I wish to congratulate you in this way for the organisation of the Saturday. Me and my friends had a very good time.
I know that such an event is hard to organise and all the positive feedbacks are welcome.
Please inform your colleagues about our congratulations.
We hope to come back to this event in the next year, too, if it shall be organised.
The music band was good, however, I had been afraid of them since I had not known them before.
The essence is: please continue."
