Recently i held a french cooking class at Linden Park primary school. I spoke about ingredents that went into dishes and judged what they cooked.

Each class cooked the following:
Reception – Chocolate Mousse
Year 1 – Rataoullie
Year 2 – Quiche Lorraine

It was great to see children and parents so involved in cooking and the knowledge they all knew about french cooking and general cooking. Many thanks to Sue Swanson also. It was a fantastic day and i loved it.
