I was really excited about the competition. I enjoyed talking to the judges when we were cooking and the vibe was really good. Also when we were cooking we were really in the situation of competition so I felt nervous. I loved the process of putting my food together. – Ng Cheuk Kei, 4B Students participated in the ‘Masterchef’ Cooking Competition demonstrated a high level of cooking skill and more importantly, used English as a means of authentic communication. Here are their reflections: Visiting Cognitio College (Kowloon) and judging the the ‘Masterchef’ with other judges was really enjoyable. It was, in fact, even more fun for the judges than the students, as we were able to sample some of the amazing dishes prepared for us. It was clear that they were all budding gourmets and knew their way around the kitchen. Everyone diced, chopped, steamed and cooked with precision. Like every good cook, they also knew that the kitchen and their workspace needed to be spick and span when they had finished. The beef pie was mouthwatering with just the right amount of flavouring. This was followed by a delicious mushroom and pumpkin pasta dish. By this stage the judges were feeling comfortably full but who could say no to dessert. We were treated to chocolate and banana pancakes and a slice of Basque cheesecake. Both of these offered just the right amount of sweetness and became more delicious with every bite. Everyone was a winner. The thing that impressed me the most was the attention to detail and the excellent teamwork and bonding shown by every group. I am counting down the days until the next ‘Masterchef’ Cooking Competition. – Luana Hasell, Regional NET Coordinator I learnt new words about cooking and developed good habits in the kitchen. – Yip Wai Yin, 4A I really enjoyed the ‘Masterchef’ Cooking Competition because it was fun. We did it ourselves and we won! – Chan Kwun Kwok, 4C 13 NET Scheme News Issue 46
