Earith Primary School

This week we made an old favourite at Cooking Club – Chilli Con Carne with rice and accompanied by our very special and very tasty cheesy garlic bread.  It is our last session for this half term next week so watch out for more news. 

If you would like your child to join Cooking Club but have missed the ParentMail application please speak to the office staff at any time.

This week we moved to another part of the world in Cooking Club – India.  We made Chicken Tikka Masala, pilau rice and naan bread.  It rivalled any takeaway and we would highly recommend you give the recipes a go.  They are all very easy.  Watch out for next week’s tasty instalment.

Cooking Club met for the first time this school year.  We were very depleted in numbers this week for various reasons and we only had two, but very keen, young cooks join us.  We have an ‘Around the World’ theme this half term and kicked off with Chinese.  We made Chow Mein, Chinese mixed vegetable stir fry and finished with toffee and sesame bananas which were delicious and not all fattening.  If you would like to have a go at any of the recipes you can find them on the website.  If your child would like to join Cooking Club it is never too late to join up.  Speak to one of us in the school office.

This was our final week of Cooking Club for this term and the final ever Cooking Club for our group of Year 6s.  The pupils had invited their parents, Mrs Lawrence and Mr Abbs to a special meal to show off their cooking skills.  They made mozzarella and red pepper tarts accompanied by coleslaw, and roast potato wedges and the meal was finished with a zesty raspberry and lemon muffin.  Our guests were very impressed with the food and the high level of service.

Cooking Club will start again in September.  We will probably run a club for Year 1 and 2s and for Year 3s upwards.  Look out for the information and let us know if your child would like to join. 

This week at Cooking Club we made a delicious Brazilian Picadillo and of course accompanied by the best garlic bread in the world – you really need to try it – there is no turning back once you have.  Watch out for our special meal for the parents next week as we get together for our final cooking club for the year and for this group of Year 6.

This week the group had a go at making pasta from scratch.  Although the recipe says ‘easy’ it is quite a challenge time-wise.  We did, however, manage to produce a more than reasonable plate of pasta filled with a butternut squash and mushroom filling.  We challenged ourselves further by making a strawberry soufflé.  These also turned out really well.

We are running our last Cooking Club for this year with a group of enthusiastic Year 6s.  This week we cooked chicken nachos, guacamole with tomato salsa.  We also had time to whizz up a very tasty strawberry milkshake and enjoy an ice cream, so as not to waste anything!
