Food Glorious Food

 Great Skills You Can Eat

Our Year 9 Hospitality and Catering students got a taste of what their final practical exam could look like last week. Working to a realistic brief, they were challenged to create dishes suitable for either a restaurant, bistro or food truck setting. The standard was extremely high, with students producing a range of impressive dishes. The experience gave them valuable insight into the expectations and format of their final assessment. Congratulations to Mason, who was awarded the MasterChef class award title for his outstanding practical work! 






This week, students were on a roll as they baked and filled their own Swiss rolls. They showed excellent knowledge of aeration techniques, rolling and decorating skills. Well done to everyone for a sweet success! 🍰👏






Our final Cooking Club activity was to create weird and wonderful loaded hot dogs. Some of the flavours we tested were : Lemon, Pizza, Biltong and Chutney, Cereal and Honey, mozzarella and avocado, spicy crisps and cream cheese, classic American-style loaded dogs and more. A huge thank you everyone who has made the Cooking Club a huge success this year, I cannot wait to see what we cook up next year.
