BUDDING Jamie Olivers at a north Lincolnshire primary school cooked up a culinary storm in a scrumptious cook-off.
Talented pupils at Castledyke Primary School in Barton-Upon-Humber created a variety of mouthwatering dishes from around the world in the school’s annual cookery extravaganza.
Judges, including critically acclaimed master chef Nigel Brown, and head teacher Rosie Pugh munched their way through an abundance of delicious dishes, including couscous, exotic fruit salad, beef stroganoff, vegetable pizza, spicy pasta and avocado and mozzarella salad.
Nigel Brown, who runs a cooking academy at The Ropewalk, said: “I am so impressed with the youngsters work. All of their dishes were colourful, tasty and wonderfully presented.
“It is remarkable that children as young as 5 and 6 have produced such a high caliber of dishes.
“It is lovely that the pupils have produced the meals themselves with a bit of guidance from the teachers.”
Each class had a budget of £10 to create a tasty starter, main meal and dessert. The children also had to use produce grown in the school’s garden.
Mrs Pugh said: “I think it is absolutely fantastic the pupils have created meals which are worthy of being on a restaurant menu.
“The whole project has been about healthy eating and the youngsters have learnt so much about delicious foods which are a vital part of a balanced diet.”
Pupils have embraced cooking since they were awarded a Let’s Get Cooking Grant by The Big Lottery Fund.
