August in the kitchen


We have had an abundance of citrus fruit delivered to our kitchen - grapefruit, lemons, oranges and mandarins. Thankyou!! We have used them to make lemon muffins, gluten free orange cookies, lemon slice, lemon and honey dressing, golden oat cookies with lemon zest and most of the Year 5's have practiced segmenting grapefruit.


Nami, our Japanese visitor and her son Hiromi helped out in the kitchen. They enjoyed it so much Nami offered to design a Japanese inspired menu for the Year 5 and she came in and helped out for a second week before heading back to Japan. We all loved the curry and carrot cake that used our colourful carrots fresh from the gardens and the carrot leaves as well. 
We have farewelled Larissa who has been a fabulous volunteer while she has been here in NZ and Bob celebrated a birthday!
