Mediterranean Lunch

One of our most popular projects for our Advanced Cookery students is to design a three-course menu, costed to a budget and then prepared for a friend to savour. At $65 per person, the ingredients must cost be around $22 per person.

The three-course menu includes a fish dish, involving the filleting of a fish, freshly made ribbon pasta and dessert - all with a Mediterranean theme. Take a look at this week's impressive efforts enjoyed by the Foundation and Diploma students...as friends were not allowed to join during Alert level 2!

A busy session with fantastic results and feelings of achievement.

Here are some photos of the exciting dishes and our students from the Cookery, Level 4 batch.
