Meat and Butchery – Chefs of the Week (Hannah, Ian B, Ben, Tiarnan and Ian W)

This week is always one of the most popular once students get over the initial squeamishness. Students are taught all about the anatomy of different animals and get to try different meats cooked in different way. Then they are shown how to joint a chicken and have to cook it three ways with different flavours. They made deep fried and glazed chicken wings, roast thighs and drumsticks and  the breasts are made in chicken nuggets. Some delicious platters were made and the student who produced the best food, but in the most organsied manner were the chefs of the week and it was very hard to decide so it went to two groups, so well done to Hannah, Ian B and  Ben and Ian W and Tiarnan.

Hitesh Hemnani wins local cooking competition!

Congratulations to Hitesh who drew confidence from his 2nd place in Island School Senior Masterchef  competition last year and entered a local cooking compition with a friend from another school. The completion was part of a talent show organised to promote the fight against crime in Hong Kong and they entered the non-ethnic Chienese category of the competition. Hitesh says “My friend and I were invited by the district councilor of Yau Tsim Mong district, to join this cooking competition which was organized by the Mong Kok police station with a friend of mine (Dhiresh Buxani). With the theme of crime, we named our dishes accordingly. We first made paneer tikka skewers as our appetizer. Flowing on we made farfalle pasta in tomato sauce to show the color of blood and to finish it off we made a light and refreshing watermelon mojito to balance the strong flavors and the heat from the entree and appetizer. Our main area of focus was presentation and taste. We were fortunate enough to win with the position of champion” I am sure we have a future star chef in the making here.

Week 1 – Skill development (omelette and Fruit/Veg carving)

In week 1 of Lord’s Kitchen students were given two challenges to test their skills. Firstly they were asked to make the perfect omelette after watching a demonstration and secondly was to produce a piece of food art by carving a fruits or vegetables. Standards were particularly high for the first  lesson, with no omelette disasters and a lot of very good apple swans and turtles. However  the first chefs of the week awards go to Tianan Neville for the best omelette and Sarah Khursigara for her intricate fruit carving
