Week 8 Culinary Highlights: Chef Leckie Takes Charge at KDS Cooking Classes
Week 8 of the KDS Cooking Program saw Chef Michelle O’Hara handing over the reins to Chef Leckie from St Martin’s Anglican Church. This change brought fresh energy and expertise to our kitchen, much to the delight of all our participants.
A Warm Welcome to Chef Leckie
Chef Leckie stepped into the role of head chef with enthusiasm and a knack for engaging our cooks. His presence was a hit, bringing new teaching styles and culinary insights that enriched the learning experience. We extend our heartfelt thanks to Chef Leckie for his dedication and spirit, which have been instrumental in this week’s success.
This Week’s Culinary Creations
The menu for Week 8 consisted of some beloved classics: Lasagna and Pancakes with Ice Cream. These dishes not only challenged our participants to hone their cooking techniques but also allowed them to enjoy the fruits of their labor with some of the most universally loved comfort foods.
Looking Ahead: The Final Cooking Event
As we near the end of our inaugural cooking program, anticipation is mounting for the final event where our participants will showcase their skills. They will prepare, cook, and serve a 3-course meal to an audience of approximately 50 people. This event isn’t just a chance to show off their culinary achievements; it’s an opportunity to demonstrate the life skills they’ve acquired, from teamwork and planning to execution under pressure.
