Mediterranean Lunch with Level 4 Cookery students
For the Mediterranean Menu, the Advanced students must design and cost out a menu to a budget which includes a fish dish (the need to fillet the fish) freshly made pasta (ribbon or ravioli) and a tempting dessert.
The students are able to invite a guest to join them for this gastronomic luncheon which they prepare during the morning.
Here are some photos of the delicious fare prepared by our students -
