'Master Chef Event' held at Tavistock College

Year 5 pupils from TALC primary schools and gifted Year 8 cooks from Tavistock College spent a day working with a visiting professional chef, Chris Chappell in a 'Master Chef' event run by the Tavistock Area Learning Community.

Organised by Angela O'Shea, Head of Whitchurch Primary School, the event involved Year 5 pupils from fifteen different primary schools, supported by Year 8 students from Tavistock College being shown and then taught how to bake chocolate brownies. The demonstration and training was provided by Chris who runs the kitchens at Okehampton Battle Camp. Chris then judged the final products but everyone was a winner and enjoyed the spoils.

Comments from the pupils involved included:

"I wish I could do this every day!" and "Mmmmmmmmmm.. it was great!"
