Ten students from Years 7 and 8 took part in this year’s Mangochef competition. They had to make a starter and main course with points being awarded for taste, texture, aroma, appearance, complexity of dish and how well it was cooked.
What makes a good chef?
- Creativity and an eye for detail
- A fast yet confident worker
- Logical and a good timekeeper
- Can take a high pressure environment
- A resiliant person that can be flexible and make the most of a bad situation.
