The aim was to help them hone their cooking and food presentation skills with the award winning chef assessing their efforts not only for taste, but also for appearance on the plate.
More of the chef’s signature dishes - Penne Pasta with Broccoli, Goats Cheese and Sun Dried Tomatoes followed by Peach Crumble with raspberry cream - were served for lunch in the dining room where he helped out with service and circulated amongst the pupils, talking to them about their favourite foods and his favourite dishes to cook.
In the afternoon, he gave a talk on Healthy Eating and Nutrition to Year 4 & 5 pupils. Then there was another skills test for Upper Sixth Form cookery students as six pairs of girls competed in an omelette challenge with Paul judging the best of the bunch.
The event was organised by the school’s caterer, Sodexo. It marked another milestone for the company’s wider health and wellbeing engagement programme, Healthwise. Sodexo runs various workshops and competitions across the country to get children more involved with what they eat.
