‘Ready, Steady, Cook’ challenge

On Thursday 19th April the Royal Navy Catering team visited Trinity School to work with Y9 and Y10 Food students.

The students took part in a ‘Ready, Steady, Cook’ challenge. Groups competed to prepare, cook and present 2 dishes in 1 hour. The groups were provided with a tray of identical ingredients but then had the opportunity to choose an extra ingredient from the ‘mystery bag’. The Royal Navy chefs Jamie, Verity and Nick were on hand to offer expert advice on recipes and professional skills. A wide range of quality dished were produced ranging from carbonara, stir fry and flat breads to fruit tarts and gateaux.

In an atmosphere of friendly competion the students were challenged to work as a team and extend their practical skills within a short space of time. It was a great day enjoyed by students, teachers and the Naval team.
