Duke of Ed Master Chef Challenge on the Trangia Stove.

Considerable fun was had tonight with our master chefs being put under the pressure to cook a two course meal on the trangias. Groups were assessed on their cooking; the taste of their meals and their organisation of cleaning up as well as their levels of rubbish they created.

The judges were extremely firm, they loved the fact that they could taste every meal and commented how full they were at the end of the evening. We need to say a massive thank you to all of our judges: Ms. Gentile, Ms. Kinder, Ms. Steeper, Ms. Wilkins and Mr. Ng; their support was much appreciated!

The rest of the congratulations goes to all the students. I was so impressed with the listening, working together and following instructions. All students demonstrated growing confidence and awareness of safety with the stoves and learnt what meals are good to cook on the sentimental stoves. They definitely achieved our learning intentions and had a lot of fun along the way. Great work, we are looking forward to our camp experiences!!!
