We had so much fun learning different ways to prepare food including: bridge cut, claw cut, slicing, peeling, grating, zesting, dicing and shredding.

Once we had made our salad, we tasted and adjusted the amount of ingredients in order to improve the taste, texture and presentation of the foo.

We then tasted each other’s salads. There was a buzz of approval and compliments about each dish.  All the salads were British based, using only ingredients that can be grown in this country. Some of the salads were presented in a way that reflected the British culture. One salad was arranged as a Union Jack, another as the Crown Jewels with different coloured fruits and vegetables  representing different coloured gems.

Finally, we wrote recipes of our dishes that included some nutritional information. Who knows… maybe you’ll try some out for yourself!
