Today when we cooked Cheesy Broccoli Pasta Bake the kitchen skills we used were knife skills and team work.
All of the meal was labelled with the ingredients and any allergen warnings ready to be donated.
We made this meal for The Light House Foundation and would like to wish that who ever gets this meal at home enjoying the warmth and flavour of the pasta bake.
Today we made Zucchini and Cheese muffins.
We used kitchen skills such as cutting and grating.
We made this meal for Melbourne youth that are struggling to buy and make their own food. The Lighthouse Foundation help these youth and will give them the food.
The kitchen skills we used were peeling, chopping and being exact with the measurement and mixing.
We made the meals for The Lighthouse Foundation to give to homeless Melbourne youth.
We would like to wish that the people who get this meal will enjoy it and we look forward to making them more next term.
Zipping around of the garden beds students were excited to successfully earn their wheelbarrow licence.
We know what the facts are: one in four Australian children is overweight or obese, and these children are likely to become obese adults. Our Kitchen Garden Program shows children and their families how to delight in, share and celebrate great food at school and consequently at home.
The program is the longest and most structured intervention children and families will participate in is the education system. Experiencing pleasurable food education means children will see it as equally important as everything else they learn, and gain more from their education than we could ever hope for. The program has so many benefits including opening up to children and their communities what they could do and what they have to offer the world in a way they had never drempt of.
Wherever you travel in the world, you will see people sharing a meal. More than just food, a meal is a platform for sharing stories and culture, of experiencing the lives of the people you seat yourself with. Restaurant culture separates us from the group at the next table, and finances separate some from the table entirely.
Lentil as Anything believes everyone deserves a place at the table.
The women featured are from the North East of the island and throughout the book their incredible stories of courage are shared through their relationship with food.
Stunning photography is combined with the recipes that gave these women hope to provide a better life for their children.
Commissioned by Australian based charity Palmera, 100% of all profits from the sales of HANDMADE will be reinvested in rural women entrepreneurs in Sri Lanka.

It’s hard to believe we’re already in March, we’ve had a wonderful program this term!
Our focus has been the importance of Food Safety and developing safe and responsible working skills in the Kitchen. We’ve had an impressive harvest to cook with this term, as you can see from the pictures below.
It has been so lovely to see our students develop their confidence in the Kitchen and swell with pride when they’re complimented by their peers and volunteers on the delicious dishes they’ve prepared! All our recipes are available at the end of each class & they can be downloaded from the RECIPE link on the Blog.
We’re so grateful to all those who have volunteered this term. Our program can not run smoothly without your assistance. If you or another family member would like to volunteer in your child’s Kitchen or Garden class and supervise a small group of students in hands-on learning, please follow the Sign.up link on our Blog.
Happy Cooking!
