Community Cooking with students from NYSS

Yesterday after school Hannah and Ida arranged a Mexican celebration feast as a community event to bring together island school and students from the neighboring NYSS. They decided on  a Mexican celebration feast as it has recently been the Cinco de Mayo festival and they decided it is important to bring people together and recognize other cultures.

The students were put into small groups and each had a different aspect of the feast to make, there was pork fajita, salsa, guacamole, nachos and cheese sauce. It was a really lovely experience giving these students opportunity to use the amazing food facilities at Island school and they really appreciated it and loved the food.

IS ESF Chef Final 2019

This year the final of the IS ESF Chef final was probably the most challenging brief yet, with the students been tasked to make a plant based main and dessert in 1hour 45mins. The atmosphere was friendly but tense as the students worked there way through the different techniques in making their dishes and getting them presented for the judges, but it got much more frantic as the timer ran down. This year we had the following judges The Chef and Manager from POP Vegan restaurant in Elgin Street, Alvin from Magic season Organics, Mr Loggie and Jennifer Frawley (last year senior winner and Viva Sheth (Vegan IB  Food Science student), so a great range of experts and food enthusiasts.
