Cooking with Brett McGreggor

Cooking with Brett McGreggor - How cool was this!!

We were super lucky to have Brett come to our school today and cook with a group of students.

We got to see him cook and he gave us lots of useful tips for our own cooking.

We also got to taste the delicious chicken with tomato and oregano that he cooked.

Thanks Brett and Parmco for giving us this great opportunity.  We are looking forward to the weekly challenge in September and being able to apply the tips and hints to our own cooking.

Welcome to cooking Term 3

Its already term 3 and we have another round of cooking club.  It seems to be a very popular option.  This term we have a mixture of students, some continuing on from last term, others returning after a break, and some for the very first time.

Again we have a very exciting term lined up.

On Wednesday 7th August we have master chef Brett McGregor coming in to cook with us.  This is a special initiation from the 'lets cook programme in schools'.  He will be cooking with us and I am sure we can all pick up a few new tricks, as well as tasting some delicious food.  We will be cooking chicken with tomatoes and oregano.

The competition side of the lets cook programme, will run from the 2nd - 23rd September, we will definitely be participating in this again.  Last year we came so close!  Each week of the competition we will receive recipes and cooking tips and be able to watch a video demonstration of Brett cooking the dish.
By entering the competition and having family and friends vote for our school we will be in with a change of winning a classroom full of state-of-the-art kitchen appliances.  (Something our cooking club is sorely in need of!) The students can also win spot prizes for completing Bretts weekly cooking challenges.

In between these two events we will try our hand at a range of other dishes chosen by the students.   We will plan our cooking in one week, with students considering time constraints and budgets, then cook the chosen dishes the following week.
