Neatherd High School: Neatherd Xmas Cook-Off 2016 Last night saw the conclusion of the two day special Neatherd Christmas cook off. Two teams from each house competed, cooking a wide selection of festive inspired dishes from around the world. On Tuesday Miss Mullineux and her Kett team – Maisie and Nancy walked away with the dish of the evening. A Dutch inspired Hutspot potato and onion mash complimented with Pepernoten, little spiced biscuits. Last night Mr Mayhew was dealt a raw hand having two of his Y11 boys drop out last minute, presumably to focus on their mock revision. Representing Kett alongside Courteney they managed to create two types of German market inspired biscuits along with an alcohol free (I promise) Gluhmost – orange and cinnamon infused apple juice. All scores from both nights have been added together to have an overall winner, well done to Kett house taking first place having secured victory over both nights. I have included all of those who competed and helped out, so if you see any of them around school please give them a big congratulations. The next bake off event will be in the new year, with a slight change in the application process (more to follow….) A special thanks to Mr Scahill, Dr Faulkner, Miss Mullineux, Jonny, Jack and Elena for judging. If anyone is interested in being a judge please let me know! The night also would have also ground to a halt without the help of Mrs Patterson and Mrs Phillipo in food tech, helping me out in sticky situations. Thanks guys. Mr Anderson, Food for Life Coordinator Kett – 150 House points Cavell – 100 House points Carter – 50 House points Fry – 20 House points Each contestant also receives 50 house points for competing individually.
