They harvested the spinach and baby courgette vegetables from the garden (and Mrs Mardell added some carrots from the supermarket).
They washed the vegetables.
They helped to make the food.
We peeled the carrots using sharp kitchen tools. Miss Stevenson helped us make carrot noodles in the spiraliser. We chopped the courgette. Mrs Mardell showed us a chef skill to keep our fingers safe.
Conan decided he'd like to be the chief salt grinder and ground the salt crystals to a beautifully fine powder. Well done.
We took the leaves off the thyme and sage stalks we picked for the dressing and used the hand blender to whizz it all up. (There was a wee bit too much vinegar)
Oh no there were sounds of 'I don't like it' from some people without even trying a new food.
And Mrs Mardell said 'you don't know until you try it. Just pick out some bits have a try, and if you don't like it we will return it to the compost' it's ok to not like something, but at least try it!
We found out plants give us leafy vegetables such as spinach and kale, Flower vegetables such as broccoli and cauliflower, stem vegetables such as celery and rhubarb and root vegetables such as artist and Beetroot.
Our goal is to try 1 new plant food a week. Let's see how we go.
