Here's some of the dishes produced in recent sessions:
Rhyo made Chicken Alfredo which was delicious! He seasoned everything himself and he really has a good taste for flavours! Miss Thom even convinced him to add some spinach which even Rhyo admitted, definitely elevated the dish!
Aaron made some really delicious Chocolate Lava cakes which he was very proud of, and they were perfectly gooey in the middle, yet with a nice crust on the top. Aaron sat down and enjoyed these with the Engagement staff and they were absolutely delicious. Well done Aaron!
Jack made a Shepherds Pie, and showed off his great knife skills chopping up all his vegetables. Jack took this home to share with family and get their verdict on his cooking expertise!
Marzell made some great chicken burgers! He battered and seasoned his own chicken and then constructed it all into homemade chicken burgers! Marzell really enjoys sharing food he's made with other pupils in school and getting feedback from his friends, so this is what he does every week.
Last but not least, Ewan made some Greggs inspired Festive Bakes which had chicken, bacon, stuffing, and cranberry sauce all in a creamy white sauce. Ewan made these last year as they are his favourite Christmas and he did really well to remember how to make them more independently this year! Just look at that Sage & Onion breadcrumb crust on top!
Cooking will always be accessible to pupils who engage well and Miss Thom really encourages the pupils to have creative freedom of what they cook, whilst also supporting them in choosing things they can recreate at home on their own. Its also the opportunity to be proud of what they make, so gaining the certificates and also sharing food with the team whilst at school really helps make that happen!
