Their ITC\u2019s &amp; partners in Durban were treated to a <em>\u201cCurry Cook Off\u201d<\/em> at Gecko Culinary Adventures. The event was attended by 14 partners and representatives from Holiday Factory and Zurich Insurance, including representatives from Club Travel which made up a total of 20.<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>The adventure began when the group was divided into 3 teams, who then challenged themselves to cook delicious curry dishes.<br \/>\n<em>\u201cThe participants were divided into 3 teams of 5-6 contestants. Each team had their own cooking station where all the ingredients, pots, pans and stoves were made available to us,\u201d<\/em> says <strong>Marina Shaw, Franchise Sales &amp; Support manager<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>Team 1 experimented with delicious samoosas and naan bread, Team 2 tried their hand at butter chicken and cheesecake while Team 3 went all out with lamb vindaloo and sambals. Within each team everyone had their designated tasks. \u201cWhile one person cleaned and cubed the chicken, another whipped the cream \u2013 it was wonderful to see the team work,\u201d Marina added. \u201cWhile cooking, teams went over to other stations and engaged in some friendly banter. \u201cThere was lots of chatting, drinking and being merry,\u201d Marina laughs.<\/p>\n<p>The prescribed 40 minutes went by in a flash and once everyone had completed cooking, the dishes were beautifully laid out on the deck for everyone to enjoy a scrumptious three course meal together.<\/p>\n<p>At the end of the meal, the chef then announced the winning team based on a variety of criteria including how clean the cooking station was, the way the team worked together and of course the final result \u2013 how it all tasted.<\/p>\n<p>The winning team each received a R250 Woolies voucher sponsored by Club Travel.<em> \u201cA huge thank you to The Holiday Factory and Zurich Insurance for sponsoring this awesome event,\u201d<\/em> says <strong>Jo Fraser, Franchise Director of Club Travel.<\/strong> <em>\u201cThe evening served to be tantalisingly tasty and was thoroughly enjoyed by all.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\t\t<style type=\"text\/css\">\n\t\t\t#gallery-1 {\n\t\t\t\tmargin: auto;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t#gallery-1 .gallery-item {\n\t\t\t\tfloat: left;\n\t\t\t\tmargin-top:
