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.

“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
