Meet the Classroom Kitchen Team – Mr H

I love to see children’s ideas about food develop through the CK sessions. The hands-on experience of preparing the ingredients, discussing food likes and dislikes and then seeing children trying and enjoying new ingredients and dishes; so often followed by those wonderful words, “I’m going to make that at home!”

Djerma Stew: It is the national dish if Niger and combines lots of ingredients, flavours and spices that children may not have seen or tasted before, and it is always a real success in the taste test.

Italian: I am a huge fan of pasta dishes including lasagne and ravioli. I love pizza of course, cannoli and gelato – my favourite flavour being Biscotti della Nonna (Grandma’s Biscuits).

Sicily: It’s hot, sunny, you’re always close to the sea, the wonderful history, the food is amazing and you get a chance to practice your Italian!

I’m from Wigan so my sport is Rugby League: Wigan Warriors of course.

I like lots of different styles of music, so I like to listen to Spotify – Happy Mix: It has a really positive, feel good vibe.

I like to spend time cooking meals for family and friends, playing golf, playing tennis, painting, photography and sitting in the garden.

Marmite – love it or hate it?

Hate it!

Brown Sauce or Tomato Sauce?

…tough one…if I can only choose one it would have to be brown.

Sweet or Savoury?

…another tough one…again, if I had to choose, I would say sweet.

List three words to describe yourself?

Positive, helpful, adventurous

Over the next few weeks, we’re going to introduce you to our Classroom Kitchen Team. Next week, we’ll be heading across to Yorkshire to meet our fantastic teacher there… Miss Gilby!
