Ready, Steady, Bake...

Posted on August 16, 2016

 Our summer food festival got off to a fabulous start yesterday as the children helped to prefer the Paella, keeping a close eye on Steve and Leanne as they cooked this outside in the kitchen Garden. 

Today the kitchen has had a light covering of flour for most of today as the children took part in their bake off; mixing muffins, perfecting pastry and crushing the Krispies. Hardy hosted the fun and observed some great cookery skills which led her to wonder who might bake at home or with family members?  It would be lovely to hear what families enjoy baking at home and to share some family recipes.  As always there were some differences in approach to today's activities, for some the best bit was definitely the making while a few seemed to be in more of a hurry to get to the tasting - the one thing we do know is that sadly there wasn't much left over after tea for anyone else!  However parents do get to do their own taste test tomorrow when Steve C. serves up some of the new dishes on our soon to be launched Autumn Menu, we look forward to hearing your feedback.
