Mrs Howard’s ‘paella vegetariana’ originates from Valencia, however the Spanish usually add pork, rabbit, chicken or seafood to the dish. She showed is how the rice is traditionally added to the pan in the shape of a cross before being mixed in with the other ingredients. Paella for breakfast on a sunny morning. What could be better?
Today some of 1DC started their celebration baking, to share next week with their parents. We weighed and measured, mixed and scraped and next week we will transform our buns into something fabulous!
Well 4DM have. We used the vegetables left over from ‘fuel for schools’ to make a delicious vegetable soup flavoured with herbs picked in our grounds. Most of the class enjoyed it and quite a few came back for more!
Simnel cake was traditionally given by girls in service to their mothers on Mothering Sunday. The balls on the top represent the 12 Apostles. Why do you think there are only 11 balls?
Where does butter come from? If you’re not sure, speak to 4DM. They made their own!
This week we were shown how to make ‘Jong’ a Korean dish usually served with rice. Delicious!
Some of 4DM have been making and trying Viking bread. The recipe uses 3 basic ingredients, wholemeal flour, butter and egg with just a pinch of salt. It is nothing like the bread we know today, more like a solid scone and would have been cooked over an open fire. What did you think of it 4DM?
Baked by our Fairtrade Ambassadors, these cupcakes were made using the COOP recipe that Lucy shared with us at the ‘Pass It on’ Café. Were you lucky enough to try one?
Making chocolate nests for 4SP’s celebration event. Did you enjoy them?
Lucy, from our local Nursery Lane COOP, demonstrated the COOP recipe for Cappuccino cup cakes.
Using all Fairtrade ingredients provided by our local store!
Some people just couldn’t wait for these delicious cakes to cool!
Fresh out of the oven.
Some of our regulars helped with the icing.
The cakes were light and fluffy.
And easier to ice once cooled.
But enjoyed by everyone!
Just like the picture in February’s COOP magazine.
A huge thank you to our Nursery Lane COOP, for lending us one of there colleagues to demonstrate at our ‘Pass It on’ Cafe! Our Fairtrade ambassadors will be baking some of these cup cakes for our ‘Friends’ Fairtrade Cafe on Friday 9th March. Hope to see you there.
