Get Set Cook

Bebington High Sports College are yet again actively promoting healthy eating within the school. With the success of the TV show Ready Steady Cook, they decided to hold their own version of the show called ‘Get Set Cook’.

Chef Mr Darren Tinkler from Scolerest held an exciting event at the school on the 6 May 2009, it was staged in the Main Hall in front of the Year 7 Students, with the aim of promoting healthy menus and cooking with fresh ingredients.

Headteacher Mr Jordan headed up the Red team with Yr 7 students Rikaya Blakeborough and Kallum Paul who created from their ingredients chicken on a bed of rice, with a ragu sauce, wilted spinach and scallion onions. The Green team headed by Mr Berry with Yr 7 students Chandler Loughton and Courtney Herbert, created a spicy vegetable Balti with a side dish of bombay potatoes.

Answering questions, food tasting and voting for their preferred dish, the fun filled hour included all students actively participating. They interacted well with the chef and cheered on their favourite team.

The competition was a great success with Mr Jordan’s Red team winning the final vote from the students. Bebington High Sports College students enjoyed the event so much that the school now plans to host a Master Chef competition in the near future, building on the enthusiasm that the students have shown.
