Eggs-cellent work in the Kitchen

Primary 7 are continuing to work on their WW2 context and decided this week to look at some basic cookery skills in the kitchen, we discussed the ways we could cook our rationed eggs in the war and had a go at making the perfect poached egg and boiled eggs on toast!

Firstly we had a go at poaching the eggs! Some were eggs-ceptional and some were not such a cracking success…

We then had a go at making boiled eggs and timed them ourselves depending on whether we like hard or soft boiled eggs – they were ouef-elly good!

RHET Foodie Workshop

Today P7H did an exciting workshop with Sarah from RHET. First we went outside to the planters to harvest some of our vegetables. We had to pick one onion, four leaves of red and yellow chard and some peas per pair.

Next we took our harvest into the kitchen and started to make our coleslaw. We were split up into pairs and one person had to wash and prepare the chard, squeezed lemon juice, and added oil, cinnamon and herbs, whilst the others grated carrots, washed and chopped onions, ripped mint and added yoghurt and honey.

At the end we mixed both partners ingredients together to get our coleslaw.

Bhayleigh “It tasted so yummy!”
Oscar “Making it was fun and it was tasty.”
Harry “I started crying because of the onions.”
Carys “I tried new foods.”
Dan “It tasted like Santa giving you a hug.”
Emma “I didn’t know chard was thing, now I like the taste.”
