Making Bruschetta in Cooking and Planting Club

In cooking and planting club this week we made bruschetta using tomatoes, basil, garlic, a bit of olive oil and bread.

First we had to cut the bread and toast it. While it was toasting, we made the tomato mix by cutting up the tomato, basil and garlic and mixing it together with a dash of olive oil.

Then we made our way to the dining hall to get the bread out of the oven We walked into the hall very sensibly.

Then we sat patiently while Miss Hays collected the toast and showed us how to make the bruschetta.

And then we enjoyed!

KS1 Cooking Class - making potato crisps!

For our second Cooking and Planting ECA session we made yummy potato crisps! To make our crisps we used two different types of potato - sweet potatoes and regular white potatoes.

First we watched Ms. Hays demonstrate how to cut the potatoes into thin slices, using a knife and a chopping board. Next we greased several baking trays with vegetable oil, so that the potatoes would not stick to the trays once they were in the hot oven. Before we placed the sliced potatoes into the oven we drizzled a small amount of vegetable oil on top of the potatoes so that they would become extra crispy!

Our potato crisps were delicious!
