Cooking Club at Ballymena Academy

Rachel from our Ballymena Today youth team has been involved in an exciting new club at Ballymena Academy. We will let her tell you all about it! On Thursday 2nd of June, it was the first time that there was a cooking club in Ballymena Academy. It was organised and arranged by one of our own HE Department teachers. It is being held in preparation for the upcoming ‘Whizz Kids’ competition, in September/October time. At the ‘club’ there were approximately 6-8 teams of 2 people and the pupils were either personally invited to come by our HE teacher involved, or had been recommended by other teachers. The main thing is, we all love baking! We are now meeting every Thursday after school until the end of the school year and we are going to be making a wide variety of dishes, ranging from delicious sweet deserts to main dishes, which you could have for dinner! For our first ‘club’ we made SALTED CARAMEL BROWNIES! We were so excited‼ It took about an hour to make in total, by both following a recipe and our teacher telling us all what to do as a whole group. We may not be Mary Berry or Jamie Oliver, but we still managed to make a “death by chocolate” fudgy brownie, designed to make your mouth water. Here’s the recipe which we used below, taken...
