Rotary Competition
The final school heat of the competition was held on Wednesday 20 November 2013. Four first year pupils took part – Rhonan Colquhoun, Blair McColm, Willow Grieve and Jennifer Purdie.
The pupils made a three course meal –
• Rocket and pine nut ravioli with a tomato sauce
• Fillet of sea bass with ragout of spring onion and sauce vierge
• Chocolate soufflé
The standard was very high with the judges, two chefs from the local Dunoon Chatters Restaurant and two Rotary representatives choosing the overall winner – Jennifer Purdie.
Jennifer will represent Dunoon Grammar School in the next round of the competition. Well done Jennifer!
SEA BASS
On Friday 29 November S3 Hospitality were treated to a masterclass in filleting sea bass from chef Andy Christie from the local hotel – the Creggans Inn in Strachur. Each pupil in the class had the opportunity to prepare a sea bass fillet which they went on to cook in a recipe. The pupils really enjoyed having the opportunity to see the skill of a professional chef in their classroom and to learn some hints and tips that they can take forward and add to their own cookery skills.
