Food studies - Remote cooking

Isolation cooking competition 

During remote learning many students got their creative juices flowing, started cooking and entered a photo of their products in our isolation cooking competition. I’d like to thank students and families for their entries and supporting the competition. The standard was so high we opened an extra category – Let’s Celebrate Cakes.

Many students had multiple entries including, Joana Goi (7F), Katinka Schmid (9D), Lola Dobie (9D),  Madhav Nair (9B) and in particular Amelie Storrar-Carey (10F) who had an incredible 12 entries.  Each entry earnt 5 house points. Congratulations to Roberts House, finishing with 80 points. 

The top 2 winners of each category are:-

Amelie Storrar-Carey (Pot Pies) and Katinka Schmid (Pumpkin Soup)

Congratulations to the above winners and a big thank you to all  participants for their fantastic entries. There were many excellent entries making it very difficult to select the winners.

Year 8

8D students were keen to roll up their sleeves and get cooking. It was great to see such a high participation rate. Cooking is not only about practicing food skills but also challenges a student’s time management and organisation. A big thank you to the parents for supporting them in their cooking endeavours. A sample of their works is shown below.

Year 9   

It was great to see so many families support our food technology students by allowing them to cook at home. 

Please see a sample of the wonderful foods they cooked. Hopefully the families enjoyed sampling the products and hopefully the students cleaned up!!

Year 10 

During remote learning the year 10 Food students were set the challenge to produce products demonstrating the functional properties of ingredients. They had a choice of finding their own ingredients or producing the recipe set by the teacher. I was great that so many students stepped up to the task and cooked for their families. Well done year 10!!

Year 9 cooking (continued) 

Our Year 9 food classes have been very productive on the home front producing some fabulous results. A recent learning intention was to produce bread, from a culture other than your own. Charlotte Gray (9B) chose German pretzels, with exquisite results.
