Amazing flavours in 5C!

Posted on August 7, 2013 by kgblog

Hello everyone!

On the 29^th of July we had kitchen class! When we were making the Brussels sprouts the mixture was to dry so we had to add in more eggs. Not a lot of people like Brussels sprouts but in the fritters it was YUM!!!

In the carrot slice there was an oversized egg which had two yolks in it. The carrot slice was delicious!

We made the pasta thin in the pasta machine. Then after the pasta was thin, we put it in the cutting machine. After that we hung on a rack for the pasta to dry.

The sauce was a tomato and fennel sauce. Nikki said “That if you cook fennel it does not taste like liquorice as it would if it was raw.” The sauce tasted great with the pasta!

The imagination salad was a great way to go to the garden and use the ingredients and let your imagination flow! The salad tasted amazing! Because inside the salad was strawberries, carrots, lettuce, avocado, cucumber and tomatoes and balsamic vinegar and olive oil.

The Year 4 and 5 students grew delicious vegetables and made yummy delights. Their efforts saw them produce delectable items such as beetroot and chocolate muffins, zucchini and chocolate cake along with rocket and chickpea dip to share with the volunteers of the Kitchen Garden Program (KGP) at a special thank you afternoon tea. Without the wonderful volunteers the program could not exist, again we thank you.
If you would like to volunteer please go to the Bilaik website to the “What’s On” tab and then “Bialik College Kitchen Garden” which is a link to the blog where you can sign up to volunteer spot for the KGP.

KGP Launch Reflections

Posted on April 21, 2013 by hartj

“I was proud to show people all the different plants we have been growing and harvesting. I even explained companion planting!” – Year 5 student.

“It was so much fun serving everyone pizza from the pizza oven, they all said it was very yummy” – Year 4 student.

“The knowledge, passion and confidence of the students demonstrating, how to set up, operate and look after a worm farm was very impressive! They proudly explained how they collect the worm juice; make the worm tea and pointed out the plants they have feed. It is obvious how much the students really enjoy every aspect of the program and its successful incorporation into the school curriculum”. – Parent.

“Someone asked me for the silverbeet frittata recipe they said we had made such delicious food” – Year 4 student.

“The ‘official’ launch of our beautiful Kitchen Garden, was an event during which, we were able to thank our many supporters and donors, whilst showcasing the exciting work of our children. We tasted the many delightful vegetables grown and cooked by our Primary children. The event was made even more inspiring by the work of the students in showcasing, guiding, growing, cultivating, cooking and serving. A special thanks goes to Raphy Shtern who, without any prompting, offered to help clear up the cardboard boxes – a real mensch.” – Bilaik Principal
