Despite this, there are still many people who need to be convinced that mutton should be on menus today — and that’s where you come in!

To enter this competition, all you need to do is design a main course dish for four covers using Renaissance Mutton as the main course ingredient. Your dish should be accompanied by at least one carbohydrate based garnish and at least two vegetable based dishes.
