Design brief
Empires have fallen, Gods have tumbled, temples have been desecrated, battles won and lost, and families divided , but still the recipes of the world have survived. Each generation has influences on these recipes but some recipes are never changed they link us to the generations past.Each country is identified with the food they, the ingredients they use, the cooking methods and presentation of their food.
This year the theme of the Luncheon competition will be Foods From Around The World . Each pupil will design and make a three course meal using a specific country as their inspiration. It will be held on the Week two Tuesday 27th July
The presentation of the entry will be presented as a blog created in My house it will include the following criteria
