On the day that Schools Secretary Ed Balls announced cookery lessons are to be compulsory in England's secondary schools for children aged 11 to 14, St Wilfrids pupils attended an exciting cookery demo by Chefs from Brasserie 99. As part of Wakefield Festival of Food and Drink 2008 pupils will again be entering Junior Amateur Chef of the Year. Can we be as successful as last year and win? Our budding Jamie Olivers and Nigella Lawsons attended the demonstration by chefs Simon and Paul who demonstrated good kitchen practice and made a fantastic pasty in just a few minutes. Suma Wholefoods were there to educate pupils about the healthy, sweet and delicous taste of dried fruits such as apricots and mango, as well as the nutrious use of lentils and beans. The prizes are a fantastic iPod, plus a weeks work experience atBrasserie 99 alongside a top chef as well as a trip to Alton Towers and a meal for 4. Good Luck to everyone who enters!
