Tewkesbury Academy’s Year 10 hospitality and catering students had the opportunity to learn from an expert chef during a visit Gloucestershire College.
Accompanied by Design and Technology technicians Jerry Brown and Jen Adcock, the Tewkesbury group was warmly welcomed into the college’s student kitchens.
During their visit, the students had the opportunity to learn the art of pasta making. They were guided through the process of making fresh pasta dough, and then shown how to cut, fill, and shape the pasta into tortellini.
The session concluded with the students cooking, dressing, and finally enjoying their culinary creations.
A highlight of the visit was the presence of Renark Cousins, a chef and teacher at Gloucestershire College, who is also a former student of Tewkesbury Academy. His welcome for the current students added a special touch to the event.
Feedback from the staff at Gloucestershire College about the visit was very positive and they were impressed by the impeccable behaviour, maturity and respect shown by students throughout the activity.
Miss Adcock said: “It was a fantastic afternoon, and the students were a credit to the academy. We look forward to visiting again in the future.”
