The budding chefs fought competition as they joined food-lovers of all ages and proficiency in cooking a meal based on Marguerite’s recipes.
Alison Sloan, head of food and nutrition, said: “The class were really enthusiastic upon entering the Cookalong.
“They enjoyed learning about Marguerite Patten’s work and cooking and eating the dishes.”
Competitors were also asked to share photographs of their creations on social media where they were judged by Anne Dolamore (Marguerite’s editor) and Judith Patten (Marguerite’s daughter).
The Fourth Form group inspired the judges with their bacon and egg pie, Battenberg cake, prawns with lime and coconut milk and soto ayam (Indonesian soup with noodles) which saw them win the prize of a selection of Marguerite Patten cooking books.
