August


Yummy Maharajas spicy filo parcels. The recipe is on the Year 5 recipe page.



We have had so much fun making authentic corn tortillas using the tortilla press. The dough is so lovely and soft and for those who are gluten free it is great because the corn masa flour has no gluten. We purchased our flour and the presses from Tio Pablo who were very helpful.

We made refried beans, a lime and chili mayonnaise and a fabulous salad with lettuce, parsley, mint, edible flowers and yacon dressed with lime and lemon juice. So fresh and so good!



July


Winter is here and we have battled with some cold and wet weather in the garden. The children have been harvesting in some not so pleasant conditions but always with enthusiasm and big smiles on their faces when they bring the produce in to the kitchen. Some handiwork using drills and saws have made old unused bbq stands excellent for using to pot containers of sorrel we are going to sell at the school gala.




The children had fun foraging for wood ear funghi and harvesting jerusalem artichokes.






In the kitchen Year 4 children have made a Vegetable biriyani, pakoras and a mint raita as part of our Indian inspired menu. Year 5 made a wonderful Mandarin and poppyseed cake with mandarins from our tree, a fried rice with wood ear funghi and mung bean sprouts and braised vegetables served in lettuce cups with loads of wonderfully fresh vegetables from the garden - bok choy, choko, rainbow beet, cabbage, silverbeet, jerusalem artichokes and kale.
