The Pelican Bay Bar and Restaurant provide school meals for our children each week. One of the favourite meals is Penne Pasta with Bolognese Sauce. Two chefs from Pelican Bay recently came to the school to demonstrate to the whole school how they make the meal. The emphasis was on the importance of vegetables and healthy eating.
The demonstration was featured in the local Free Press newspaper. Read Article
The chefs prepared the vegetables and the turkey and beef meat then started cooking the sauce. Finally they blended the sauce to hide the vegetables! Some children were surprised to see that they had been eating garlic, celery, carrots, mushrooms and onion all term quite happily!
The children really enjoyed the demonstration. They answered questions and followed the cooking process. Some even sat with an empty plate just waiting to try it at the end. There was a prize for the person who could remember all the ingredients...Ashley won!
Thank you to Pelican Bay and their great chefs. Also thank you to our PTA who arranged the special lunch visit and for their weekly dedication to provide the children with healthy food.
