London Chef Friday Activity

This weeks Friday Activity was London Chef. The grade 8's learned how to cook Italian and we all enjoyed a nice sit down meal after. The basketball boys were in Vancouver this weekend for ISAs and were not able to join us. We look forward to hearing how they do this weekend!!

The meal consisted of Pesto Penne, vegetable stirfry sauce and homemade bread.

Prepping the veggies...pepper, onions, zucchini, eggplant, and tomatoes.

Looking good!

Learning to make bread and where wheat comes from in Canada... Blake and Spencer were proud to inform the group that their hometown grows wheat, (Saskatchewan, the prairies). 

Pesto Penne

Chef Dan Hayes assisting Carlos and Stanley to perfecting the Pesto sauce for their Penne.

We learned some neat tips and tricks about the ingredients we were using and the countries they came from. For example the germ in the garlic clove is what causes "garlic breath" so to avoid that you just remove the germ before cooking with it.

Yeast and wheat are two key ingredients for bread...Antonio was amazed that yeast is alive and causes the bread to rise!

Kitchen helpers - Michelle and Wilson.

Chef Dan was keen to learn how to say ingredients in other languages and would ask the kids to teach him.

Blake the bread maker! 

Look at that focus with the veggie prep!
