Year 7 Health & PD students learn basic skills!

Ms Stubbs' Year 7C and 7D Health & Personal Development students were soooooooooo excited to cook in the kitchen using the herbs they had grown in their kitchen gardens. They grew herbs like dill, chives, parsley, sage, rosemary, thyme, basil to name a few! In pairs they learnt how to make very easy cheesy herb puffs! Why not try these at home using regular ready rolled pampas puff pastry? You can modify the recipe by adding other ingredients like, grated zucchini, ham or bacon, corn etc
