Street Market Chefs
Two cooks from the Doncaster Schools Catering service
who trained at the School Feast Kitchen at Doncaster College took
part in the TV programme Street Market Chefs, filmed in Doncaster
during summer. The show is due for transmission on Channel
Five at 7.30pm on 16th November.
The cooks, Lisa Scriven and Jo Gore, work at Intake Primary
and Edlington St. Mary's respectively. To celebrate their
forthcoming appearance, the College and partners invited one class
of primary school children from each of the schools to the
Waterfront Restaurant at the Hub on Thursday 4th November for a
meal.
Sixty school children were served their school lunch at tables
in the plush surroundings of the restaurant. The meal of beef
cobbler, potatoes and vegetables followed by chocolate sponge, was
prepared and served by the cooks and Doncaster College Hospitality
and Catering students.
This was followed by a presentation to the cooks by Councillors
Andrea Milner and Mark Thompson to thank them for their involvement
in the programme. Examples of dishes cooked on the day were also on
display.
Gill Parkes, Academy Director for Commercial Enterprise at the
College said, "Doncaster College was pleased to host this event on
behalf of the FEAST partnership including the college, NHS
Doncaster and Doncaster School Meals. The School FEAST Centre is
based at the College, and the school cooks participating in the
competition were all trained at the College too. The Hospitality
and Catering area is proud of its connections to the local
workforce and its contribution to developing skills in the
workforce."
