Kitchen garden reflection

25/2/14
During our first kitchen lesson, my mum came to help out. Our group was saucing the tomatoes. The reason being, that tomatoes are in season now and we had heaps of them, and also because we were thinking ahead. If we were going to make the sauce now, that meant that, it will be ready for when we want to use it. The exercise was SOO much fun !! We got tomato EVERYWHERE !!!!!!!!!!! We managed to fill four and a half bottles full of tomato sauce!! At the end, when we finally got to eat I was very impressed with today’s menu. Although we didn’t eat the sauce that we made I was really proud of all the other groups. There was tomato, feta and basil tarts (yum!!), there was vegetable rice (also yum!!), there was a quinoa salad with chickpeas, and apple and Beetroot muffins. Today’s lesson was awesome and I can’t wait until next lesson.

Kitchen Chaos.

Every 2 weeks on a Tuesday, we have a kitchen lesson. In our groups we cook different foods.  After they’re cooked and everything is cleaned, we get to eat all the food. This week, we made Pesto Pasta. We actually made it from dough. Some weeks we make desserts for example, mini cheese cakes. Every week we make healthy foods. This week, we made a delicious bean, fetta and dill dish.

The Chooks Have Finally Arrived at Bialik College

Every 2 weeks on a Friday, we have a garden lesson. In our groups we plant and harvest different fruit and vegetables. We also collect worm tea from the worms. A few groups fed the chooks and one group collected the eggs. All of the chooks were running all over the place. It was so much fun.

Cooking With Greens!

On Monday 3rd of June we had our kitchen class!

The menu was:

Fettuccine pasta which needed to get shredded before we could eat it. We made a basil pesto sauce that went with the pasta it was so delicious!

When we fried the spring onion patties you had to have golden and crispy sides. It was so yummy and CRISPY! We learnt that when you cut spring onions you can’t use the white part and the green ends.

Carrot, pita and a rocket and chickpea dip. The carrots were cut in a julienne style.

We wonder what we will produce in the kitchen next time!

Thank you to the volunteers for coming to the kitchen and helping us make the delicious food!

Kitchen Garden Program – Kitchen Class

In the kitchen we made even more great dishes . We found out that large turnips taste way more bitter than the small ones. We also found out that pomegranetes are extremely healthy, we made cheese and herb bread, cous cous with turnip and silverbeet, apple and quinoa muffins, eggplant with tahini and yoghurt sauce and salad with fresh greens.
