Capturing your sweet indulgence – Chilled desserts
This week students learnt about chilled desserts. They looked at different ways chilled desserts can be flavoured and then worked in pairs to make their own desserts. They were given a choice between panacotta and cheesecake. They also chose the colours and flavours to use in their desserts. 
Cupcake wars – Sweet Indulgence (week 6)
This week, students were engaged in yet another exciting challenge – cupcake wars. They worked in pair to make and decorate a batch of cupcakes. It was interesting to see creativity at work here. We saw many students using the decorating techniques they learnt from our recent trip to complete deelite. Many used a lot of interesting colours and flavours to finish off their cupcakes. When all the cakes were decorated, students were asked to present four of their cupcakes. The class then voted for the overall best cupcakes. Connor,Smriti,Rachel and Jenny worn the title of bakers of the week this week. 
Chefs of the Week
This week’s Chefs of teh Week were chosen by Nathan, a chef lecturer from the HK Culinary Academy, whilst the Lord’s Kitchen pupisl were there at a workshop.
He choose Melodie Karbassian, Amelia King and Chiara Urch, as they had the most hygienic and organsied working practices, whilst making their Chicken Kiev’s. Well done!
He found this a really hard decision, as all pupils were amazing and their food .looked and tasted great.
Lord’s Kitchen – Visit to the HK Culinary Academy (Week 6)
In this week’s Elements lesson we had a vist to Hong Kong Culinary Academy in Kwai Chung. This would put all the would test all the skills that the pupils had learnt in the past weeks, as they would need to be orgabised and hygienic, whilst working in teams of 3.
After getting there and getting full chef’s uniform on, including chef hats, they were given a introductory talk from resident lecturer Nathan, then it was into the kitchen to watch a demonstration, that they would then have to recreate. On the menu was Chicken Kiev, with Broccoli Mash and salad. This involved , butterflying chicken breasts, making galic and parsley butter, peeling/chopping and boiling potato and broccoli, breadbrumbing and frying.
This produced some fantastic dishes that pupils then ate for their lunch. After lunch it was time to clean down and then we time to make some chocolate cookies. We even got to sample some of the excellent work from the pupils in pastry kitchen, with amazing chocolate piping on the plate.
A great trip, thoroughly enjoyed by all. Thanks to everyone at the academy for making it such a great experience.
