‘Fine Dine at Mine’ Cookery Competition February 2014

 

Our Second Year Home Economics students have been busy creating dishes for the ‘FINE DINE AT MINE’ cookery competition. Closing date for entries is Friday 7th 2014. Eighteen students who submitted entries cooked a main course dish for two people. Two key considerations when preparing their dishes were affordability and the healthy eating guidelines. As a reward for their hard efforts, all our Second Year Home economics students will be rewarded with a free cookery demonstration from an experienced chef affiliated to the Restaurant Association of Ireland (R.A.I).

Best of luck to all our entrants!

Ms. Lynn and Ms. O Neill.

Bord Bia Presentation

Home Economics students from  second year, Transition year and Fifth year were treated to a Food presentation from Maire Dufficy, Bord Bia recently (Thursday 31^st January).

Maire spoke to the students about the importance of a balanced diet, giving the latest information on the revised food pyramid.

She also demonstrated how to make a range of simple, tasty and nutritious dishes including marinated pork chops, beef stir-fry, red pepper omelette, red onion marmalade, chilli jam and chick pea salad. She also showed the students a range of Irish speciality foods that are exported globally.

The presentation finished with a tasting session of all the dishes and students also got to taste a range of famous Irish farmhouse cheeses. We would like to thank Maire for her excellent presentation and of course, the students for their involvement.
