Irish Cookery Competiton

We decided to do a cooking competition with the fifth year home ec students in the school. The students were in groups of two cooking together. They had to cook something that consisted of at least 4 Irish products. The prizes for 1st and 2nd place were to be a variety of Irish food products with a "Be Irish, Buy Irish" wristband. After we decided all this we went to the 5th years home ec teacher to ask for permission if it was ok to do the cooking competition in her home ec class. Once we got the go ahead we made picture slides to go on the
monitors in school to advertise the cooking competition. After this we then went and bought the prizes for the competition.On the day of the competition the home ec teacher started off the competition and then we went down to the competition near the end so that three of the classmates and the home ec teacher could taste each of the dishes and check all irish ingredients gone into it. After we tasted all the dishes we all
deliberated on what dish should win and we decided that the winners dish should consist of both a lot if irish products, originality and good taste. Once we agreed on the winners we then introduced ourselves to the class and congratulated each of them on their efforts and thanked them for taking part and we then gave out the prizes. Overall the cooking competition was a great success. We encouraged more people to buy Irish products and everyone enjoyed the cooking competition too.
