During Week 1 and 2 of our Mearns Masters pathway, Gastronomers,  we visited the Kitchen where we learned the chopping techniques of claw hold and bridge chopping technique. We used our chopping skills to chop soft and hard fruit and make fruit kebabs and smoothies. We enjoyed eating these in class and discussing our likes and dislikes.

During Week 3 of Gastronomers, we used all chopping techniques we had learned to chop tomatoes, onions and crush garlic to make salsa. We then enjoyed trying the salsa with some tortilla chips and discussing as a class the different flavours we could taste.
