Ready, Steady...

Ready, Steady, Can't Cook, Won't Bake!

 

Much fun was had at Garswood today as the classes competed in this culinary challenge. 

 

Having been presented on Tuesday with their 5 ingredients - and a limited larder - the children have spent the week researching recipes, measuring ingredients, preparing resources and finally creating a culinary delight!

 

The 5 ingredients were - cream cheese, pineapple slices, carrots, fresh beetroot and tomatoes. Who knew you could create such amazing things. Ranging from no sugar beetroot brownies, pineapple cheesecake, carrot cake, vegetable smoothies, yoghurt and beetroot dip with crudites, chocolate mousse, garlic doughballs, tomato bread and even a beetroot, cream cheese and pineapple pizza with a carrot and tomato puree! - the inventions were astounding! What amazing children, families and staff we have.

 

The winners were our Year 6 children who impressed the judges particularly with their bread making skills. However, we are all winners - we've learnt new skills, applied practical maths, solved problems, developed our vocabulary, we've been creative, resilient at times and very resourceful   - and who knew you can do so much with so few ingredients! 

 

Thank you to our judging panel - the Catering Manager and the Executive chef  from St. Helens Council, the school cook and Amanda from the delicatessen and sandwich shop in Garswood. They had a very difficult job.

 

Thank you also for those who sponsored our children. With money still coming in, we have so far raised over £250! A superb show of community support.

 

Thank you - and look our for our Master chefs of the future!
