Alex Herbert at Crown Street Primary

Making real vanilla icecream was a treat for the grade 4 students at Crown Street Primary during their Week of Tastes visit from Chef Ales Herbert of Bird Cow Fish. Lovely fresh eggs, cream, sugar and a vanilla pod were used to make the custard base.







Once the vanilla custard was cooled Alex poured it into an icecream maker.









After what seemed like an eternity, the icecream was ready to taste. Everyone wanted seconds and thirds!





The final verdict .......
too busy eating the last drops to know!

Colin Fassnidge at Clovelly Primary

Colin Fassnidge from "Four in Hand" restaurant visited Clovelly to give an amazing lesson on different tastes and how to change and enhance flavours.
Here he presents the students with three different greens to taste. Fresh spinach, sorrel for its lemony sour taste and finally watercress with its peppery taste.






Here Colin is showing off his expert chopping skills to slice tomatoes. Everyone got to eat a slice of tomato then another slice sprinkled with Murray River Salt to see how much better the tomato tasted with the salt.





Then Colin took beautiful strawberries and added some surprises........
"salt, vinegar and a little sugar!"
Wow, who would have thought to do that?





As a final treat, cantalope soup with lemon zest! Yum.
