A MOTHER had the chance to pick up some culinary tips from TV chef Ainsley Harriot after winning a competition.

Caroline Ryan from Darlington entered the competition run by Magic FM and UK Food and was chosen to take part in an Ainsley workshop for the Good Food Live programme. Mrs Ryan, a mother of two young children enters lots of competition but said this was her best ever prize.

She said: "Meeting Ainsley was fantastic, something money can't buy."

Caroline's meeting with Ainsley was shown on Good Food Live earlier this month.
