Head Chef John Hyslop and Training and Development Manager Chris MacNaughton from Portavadie Marina worked with the S3 National 5 Hospitality class to make bread rolls using different types of savoury toppings eg sesame seeds and pink peppercorns.

‘It was interesting to see how the chef shaped the bread rolls and put different toppings onto them. It was fun to see them made by a professional chef and then to learn a new skill ourselves.’
John demonstrated some knife skills to the pupils using an onion to highlight important safety points when using a knife. He also used other vegetables to illustrate different vegetable cuts – brunoise, macedoine and julienne. It was really good of John to take the time to share his skills with the young learners!
