New Chefs for LCCC?
LCCC may well be on the lookout for junior chefs once the new conference and events facility, The Point, opens in June 2010. Where better to look than just across the road at Stretford High School?
The Club recently invited Key Stage 4 Food Technology students to spend one of their lessons in our kitchens, for a quick lesson on how a commercial kitchen operates. The visit is part of an association between LCCC and Stretford High School, which will see more students visiting our Old Trafford ground in the future.
Head Chef, Nic Ashurst, met the students in the Gold Marquee, which caters for up to 700+ guests. After a short health and safety briefing, the students were kitted out in chef whites and allowed to enter the hallowed kitchen. Following a tour, when the intricacies of blast chillers, fridges and combi-ovens were explained, it was time to get cooking!
They made a dish of scrambled eggs with salmon, garnished with herbs, and even a scrambled egg burger.
Anne Jones, Stretford High’s Head of Technology, said,
‘When the students returned to school, they were very enthusiastic about the experience, and the next group can’t wait to visit.’
So, Jamie Oliver, look out, you may have competition in the not too distant future!
