Today we hosted our Mexican Fiesta showcase in the library which we transformed into a restaurant!

The class was split into groups with each making either tacos, enchiladas or Mocktails.

We used the skills that we have developed over the 6 weeks to cook our food and worked together to present our finished dishes.

We had a great time trying the food, hosting our special guests, listening to Mexican music and wearing our moustaches 🎉

Today our whole class went up to the kitchen to create our very own Mexican inspired mocktails.

We used lime cordial, soda water, ice, syrup, orange juice, sugar and salt to make our drinks 🍋

We then blended our mixture together to create a slush like texture and used lime to line our glasses and mixed the top of the glass in sugar and salt to make the garnish 🧂

Cheers 🍹

Today Group 2 of our Gastronomers made our vegetarian enchiladas in the kitchen. We enjoyed preparing the vegetables, packing up our mixture in tortilla parcels and baking them in the oven with cheese!

Next week our whole class will be making some Mexican themed Mocktails – we can’t wait!

Today Group 1 of our Mearns Masters cooked their very own vegetarian enchiladas, inspired by the famous Mexican dish.

We built on the skills that we practised in week one – using the bridge cutting technique to prepare the vegetables for our dish.

We then carefully wrapped the vegetable mixture into tortilla wraps and covered them in a yoghurt and cheese sauce which we then baked in the oven.

Delicioso 😋🍴
