Year 8 German Masterchef

On Monday 24 September, classroom W1 was heady with the sweet scent of butter, sugar and chocolate. The students from the Year 8 German class had been busy baking and frying their entries for the class’ Master Chef Competition. Each team researched a traditional recipe from a German-speaking country and then went to work in the kitchen at home before bringing their mouth-watering creations to share with their classmates.

Well-known Fortian and University of Sydney student, Arkady “the cake man” De Jong, was our guest judge and he found it very difficult to decide on a winner amongst the home-baked pretzels, Lebkuchen, cheesecakes and Torten. We were both extremely impressed by the amount of care each student had taken in preparing their special dish.

In the end we had to award two entries with the first prize – William Randal and Yoon-Jae Lee for their Prinzregentenchocolate layer cake,  and Maia Vincent and Gabriel Peyrachon for their fruity Obsttorte. Congratulations to them and the whole class on their efforts.
