MASTER CHEF KILFLYNN!
On Monday 24th of September, 5th and 6th class from St. Teresa’s N.S., Kilflynn went to Prim’s Restaurant, Kilflynn village for a cookery demonstration. Making use of the vegetables they harvested from the school garden, they made a range of delicious dishes. Utilizing the potatoes, carrots, onions and cabbage from the school, Chefs at Prim’s John and Karen showed the children how to make potato rosti, colcannon, soup and potato cakes! The children learned so much useful information on safety tips in the kitchen. Some of the children acted as waiters for the day, while others prepped food and tidied up. Everyone got involved in the cooking and of course sampling of the food. They thoroughly enjoyed the whole culinary experience! Well done to everyone involved!
