The annual, S1 parent and pupil cookery evening was once again a great success. Held in the Home Economics department on Tuesday 15th September with over 25 participants it took the theme this year of food waste.
The dishes were designed to be made quickly and cheaply, using leftovers most commonly found in fridges, freezers and cupboards. Once all the food was cooked and plated up everyone gathered together to taste and share the fruits of their labour. Refreshments were supplied by the PTA and the buzz in the kitchens was one of pleasure and enjoyment.
To complete the evening each pair taking part were given a recipe book, put together by the HE ladies at AHS, and titled ‘Good food less waste’. It was designed to be taken away as a useful resource for families to use when preparing similar meals at home.
The book included many recipes from the popular website ‘Love food hate waste’. A great night was had by all and the HE department are already planning a similar event for later on in the year.
