"EatSmart Restaurant Cooking Competition 2009" has been successfully held by the Department of Health (DH). Response from the industry was overwhelming and more than 110 entries were received. The entries, categorised into "Fruit and Vegetables", "Seafood", "Poultry" and "Meat" groups, had to fulfill the criteria of "Dish with More Fruit and Vegetables" or "3 Less Dish".

After DH's assessment and an open election by the public, eight renowned celebrities tried the dishes and selected the champion, first, second and third runners-up of each category according to the taste, appearance, ingredient combination and creativity of dishes.

This issue of CookSmart reviews the highlights of the event and introduces the winning dishes. You can also visit the EatSmart Thematic Website (http://restaurant.eatsmart.gov.hk) to experience the fun of the competition.
