Hi, I’m Angela!
I have been an educator for many years now.
I love my job as it combines my passion for teaching with my love of great food. Creating a dish from scratch is so creative, you can play with all ingredients and come up with a dish that tastes amazing, with maybe a few hiccups along the way.
I want to strive to give you all the tools you will need to love cooking too – I am out to Food Brainwash you all too.
My Mission
Is to get you all cooking and learning new recipes at school so that you can feed yourselves for the rest of your lives. Just say No to Jar sauces, Just say No to takeaways, Real food for real lives.
I have chosen a range of recipes that you will enjoy making and at the same time will boost your cooking knowledge. These recipes fulfil the requirements of CIE Cambridge IGCSE Food and Nutrition, so whether you are in form 1 or form 3 any of the dishes we cook in class could be used in your practical exam in form 5.
Across the year groups there are a range of low, medium and high skill dishes ie salads, coleslaw with homemade mayonnaise to Profiteroles with choux pastry (cream puffs). This way your skills can increase as you progress through the school.
There are plenty of opportunities for you to practice the fundamentals safely like knife skills.
We have an excellent range of equipment for you to use in creating your dishes. Labour saving devices are a must in the kitchen and I want you to learn how to use them effectively so you can incorporate then into your kitchens.
Let’s get cooking at school, aprons and Tupperware at the ready.
My Vision
I am truly passionate about education. I believe that you can truly be at your best in my lessons when you have access to all the resources you need.
This why I have created a youtube channel so you can see the recipes in action, I am a visual learner too so I know how helpful it is to be able to see what you are expected to do – it also takes the “scary” out of it for all you newcomers.
The next logical step was to create this recipe blog. You will have access to all the recipes we will learn in class on here and more besides. You can print and share them through social media. Now the learning is reinforced, I know that all of you will be really happy to browse through the recipies you will be cooking this term.
The next step in your complete learning journey will be the Food-brainwash academy. All your lessons will be online. You will be able to enroll in your course – Form 1, Form 2 …… and complete the lessons within your course. You will be able to earn points and certificates along the way, and have a place to upload all those photos of the dishes you make.
