Tensions were high in the Food rooms as the winning group from the ‘My Kitchen Rules’ competition was announced on Thursday 27 May.
The Year 10 Food Fabulous Food students were split into small groups and given the task of creating an entree and dessert dish that complimented a ‘surf and turf’ main course. These dishes needed to be cooked within 60 minutes with three guest judges, including Year 10 Level Leader Mr Greg Hysted, arriving for the tasting to determine the winning group.
Mini burgers, tomato and basil bruschetta, chicken parcels, calamari and arancini balls were all cooked up as entrees with many groups choosing chocolate brownie as a dessert option to win over the judges.
This task required students to use their numeracy skills in measuring and changing quantities of recipes as well as literacy skills for writing descriptive menus, following recipes and understanding terminology. Teamwork, communication and problem solving skills were also needed as the teams worked to create tasty meals that met the requirements of the task.
Well done to all students involved as well as the overall winning group which was judged to have the best dish appearance, flavour and meeting of the task requirements. The winning group of Amber Usenich (Year 10 Red), Anthony Ciantar (Year 10 Red) and Jay Barnes (Year 10 Green) cooked mini beef burgers and churros rolled in cinnamon and sugar with a chocolate dipping sauce. These dishes were so professional the judges would have paid money to eat them. Congratulations!
