Record breaking on the menu at HGS!

On July 1st an intrepid team of Year 9 students rolled up their sleeves and donned their chef’s whites to take part in a Guinness World Record Challenge organised by Jamie Oliver to have the largest cookery lesson ever take place.

Along with 15000 other young chefs in the UK, our Handsworth Team cooked home-made pasta and tomato sauce from scratch, following the recipe via the big screen and helped by Ms Hill and Mrs Jameson. The resulting dishes were truly impressive- delicious hand rolled pici pasta (like fat spaghetti) with a sauce of freshly chopped tomatoes, basil, olive oil and parmesan. Buon appetito!

It was fantastic to see the skills and co-operation of our young chefs as they brought their dishes to life. Well done to everyone who took part and to Ms Hill and our amazing DT department for giving our students the opportunity to take part in this challenge.
