Kids in the kitchen

You may have seen the small mention of STREAT in The Age’s Epicure yesterday. The article mentioned how we source our food from Original Foods—and proudly so, because they’re a sustainable catering company who uses local, seasonal and organic produce.

But not all of our food comes from Original Foods. What the article didn’t have space to tell you is that not all of our food is sourced through them. On Tuesdays and Wednesdays our youth are in the kitchen with training chef Janis Munro, cooking up batches of food for the following week. Last week was Spicy Thai pumpkin soup, and tomato and vegetable soup—big favourites if you’ve been to our food carts. Here’s a few pics of our trainees hard at work last week in the kitchen—and what they had to say about their cook-up.
