Italian Cooking Class


The S6 Italian class enjoyed a fun day learning how to cook delicious Italian food alongside Mrs Lamont and Student teacher, Eleanora Apicella Fiorentino.

Since October, the pupils have been very fortunate to have had a few visits from Eleanora, a Chemistry student teacher, who just happens to be from Puglia in the heel of Italy.

The pair taught the senior pupils how to make fresh orecchiette pasta using semola, flour and water. They pupils also learned how to make orecchiette with pesto, pancetta and formaggio and how to skillfully shape ‘little ear’ shaped pasta to allow the pesto to coat each piece for maximum taste.

All pupils agreed that they would enjoy making pasta from scratch when they go off to university and need a cheap and healthy meal option.

The pupils would like to say ‘grazie mille’ to Eleanora for such a wonderfully delicious experience!
