Making transition to healthy cooking
STUDENTS LEARN KITCHEN TECHNIQUE
Students from St Mary's Diocesan and St Joseph
12 transition year students from St Mary's Diocesan and St Joseph
The event took place at the Beverage Business Solution's canteen kitchen as part of their Fit for the Future Programme in keeping with the Coca-Cola Live Positively focus.
First on the menu was a healthy green minestrone soup with lots of green vegetables like broccoli, French beans and basil leaves.
Then the boys took a hands-on approach and were shown how to make a honey cajun chicken with Mexican salsa. The best part was when they got to eat and enjoy the delicious food being prepared, during their break.
One student even revealed that he would be making the chicken dish at home for his girlfriend on Valentine's Day!
Karl also discussed a healthy eating plan with the participants and they received useful handouts on healthy suggestions for snacks, lunch boxes, as well as guidelines for mineral, vitamin intake and meal menus.
Such was the success of the session that when the boys were asked what they wanted to make for their next demo, believe it or not it wasn't healthy homemade pizza.
No, nothing so mundane for this bunch. Healthy baked homemade cod goujons in a wholemeal crumb, with low fat cheesecake and a granola biscuit base for a healthy dessert were top of their suggestions, no less!
The participants continued with individual gym programmes and were given a complete fitness test later in the week at Jackie Skelly Fitness gym at the M1 Retail Park.
The programme takes place every Tuesday and Thursday for eight weeks. While some will be jetting off to Austria
