UCOL City & Guilds Secondary Schools Cooking Competition

On Monday 12 June, Year 13 student Jacob Massicks took part in the UCOL City & Guilds Secondary Schools Cooking Competition held in Palmerston North. Jacob, a Gateway chef student currently undertaking his work placement at Bethany’s Restaurant in Palmerston North, was required to produce two dishes.  The first was 6 muffins and the second was a main meal of chicken risotto.  Marks were awarded not only for how well the meal was prepared and tasted but also for the cleanliness and tidiness of the preparation area, knife technique and presentation.  Jacob was awarded a silver medal for his main dish and a bronze medal for his muffins.  A very pleasing day for Jacob considering he is the first pupil from PNBHS to have been entered for this competition.
