Future Chef 2011

Leave a comment

Four of our S3/4 Hospitality students are taking part in FutureChef this year. They have chosen recipes and are working after school to practice and tweak them ready for the school heat which took place in October.

At this stage in the competition they have to produce a main course for two people on a budget of £4 and they have to prepare and serve it in an hour.

The recipes they are working on are as follows: Mustardy Pork and Apples, Crispy Italian Chicken with Polenta, Vegetable and Butter Bean Hotpot and Roast Rack of Lamb with Potato and Cauliflower Dauphinoise. The winner of the School heat will go forward to compete against other Edinburgh schools in the next round. We wish them all well!

Cake Designer Demonstration

Leave a comment

Four of our Hospitality (Creative Cake Production) students went to see a demonstration by Paul Bradford of Truly Scrumptious Cakes and were fascinated by the way he put together his Witch Handbag for Halloween. They say it takes an expert to make the things look easy and that is certainly what he did!

Paul has been interested in cake decorating since he was at primary school and now has his own business. He lists amongst his customers members of the Royal Family and Celebrities and is regularly invited to Italy to demonstrate his skills.

The girls enjoyed their evening and are now hoping that we can get Paul into school to run a workshop for the class.
