LESSON ONE -BRITAIN
              SCOTCH EGGS and PINEAPPLE UPSIDE DOWN CAKE

Ingredients

SCOTCH EGGS
1 pack of sausages or sausage meat
4 Eggs
Breadcrumbs
VEGGIE VERSION - bring the eggs, one onion and a tin of chickpeas. School will
provide everything else.

CAKE
1 tin of pineapple rings
Glacé cherries
2 Eggs
100g of flour, sugar and butter

AN OVENPROOF DISH OR CAKE TIN PLUS A CONTAINER TO TAKE THE SCOTCH EGGS
                               HOME IN.

Method

      Heat oven to 180C/160C fan/gas 4. For the topping, beat the butter and
       sugar together until creamy. Spread over the base and a quarter of the way
       up the sides of a 20-21cm round cake tin. Arrange pineapple rings on top,
       then place cherries in the centres of the rings.
      Place the cake ingredients in a bowl along with 2 tbsp of the pineapple
       syrup and, using an electric whisk, beat to a soft consistency. Spoon into the
       tin on top of the pineapple and smooth it out so it’s level. Bake for 35 mins.
       Leave to stand for 5 mins, then turn out onto a plate. Serve warm with a
       scoop of ice cream.
      Whilst the cake is baking, make your scotch eggs.

Scotch Eggs Method

      1. Bring a pan of salted water to a rapid boil, then lower the eggs into the pan
         and simmer for 7 mins 30 secs exactly. Scoop out and place in a bowl of iced
         water, cracking the shells a little (this makes them easier to peel later). Leave
         them to cool completely, then peel and set aside. Can be boiled the day
         before.
      2. Put the sausagemeat, and herbs in a small bowl, mix to combine, then divide
         into 4 equal balls. Squash one of the balls between a piece of cling film until
         it’s as flat as possible (step 1-2). One at a time, lightly flour each cooked egg,
         then use the cling film to help roll the sausagemeat around the egg to
         completely encase (step 3). Repeat with the remaining sausageballs and
         eggs.

Veggie VERSION

      1. While the eggs cool, put the oil, onions and garlic in a frying pan. Fry very
         gently until really soft and just starting to turn golden. Add the spices and fry
         for a few mins more. Tip into a food processor and whizz to a paste, then add
         the chickpeas and coriander leaves, and pulse until finely chopped but not
         pasty. Stir in the wholemeal breadcrumbs, flour and final egg, beaten first with
         a fork, with a good amount of seasoning.
      2. Beat the remaining egg and put on a plate. Put the flour and breadcrumbs
         on 2 separate plates. Roll the encased eggs in the flour, then the beaten egg
         and finally the breadcrumbs/stuffing.
      3. To cook the eggs, place them onto a baking tray and bake in the oven for 25
         mine. Drain on kitchen paper, leave to cool.

LESSON THREE-ITALY
                                                     LASAGNE

Ingredients

1 tbsp olive oil
2 rashers smoked streaky bacon (optional)
1 onion, finely chopped
1 celery stick, finely chopped
1 medium carrot , grated
2 garlic cloves, finely chopped
500g beef mince or Quorn mince
1 tbsp tomato purée
1 x 400g cans chopped tomatoes
500g pack fresh or dried lasagne sheets
400ml crème fraîche or vegan equivalent
125g ball mozzarella, roughly torn
50g freshly grated parmesan
large handful basil leaves, torn

                                                AN OVENPROOF DISH

Method

   1. Heat the oil in a large saucepan. Use kitchen scissors to snip the bacon into
      small pieces, or use a sharp knife to chop it on a chopping board. Add the
      bacon to the pan and cook for just a few mins until starting to turn golden.
      Add the onion, celery and carrot, and cook over a medium heat for 5 mins,
      stirring occasionally, until softened.
   2. Add the garlic and cook for 1 min, then tip in the mince and cook, stirring and
      breaking it up with a wooden spoon, for about 6 mins until browned all over.
   3. Stir in the tomato purée and cook for 1 min, mixing in well with the beef and
      vegetables. Tip in the chopped tomatoes. Fill each can half full with water to
      rinse out any tomatoes left in the can, and add to the pan. Add the honey
      and season to taste. Simmer for 20 mins.

4. Heat oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6. To assemble the lasagne, ladle a little of
         the ragu sauce into the bottom of the roasting tin or casserole dish, spreading
         the sauce all over the base. Place 2 sheets of lasagne on top of the sauce
         overlapping to make it fit, then repeat with more sauce and another layer of
         pasta. Repeat with a further 2 layers of sauce and pasta, finishing with a layer
         of pasta.
      5. Put the crème fraîche in a bowl and mix with 2 tbsp water to loosen it and
         make a smooth pourable sauce. Pour this over the top of the pasta, then top
         with the mozzarella. Sprinkle Parmesan over the top and bake for 25–30 mins
         until golden and bubbling. Serve scattered with basil, if you like.

LESSON FIVE-FRANCE
                                                 FRENCH ONION TARTE TARTIN

Ingredients

400g beetroot, cut into wedges (optional but tastes delicious)
1 red onion, cut into wedges
3 tbsp olive oil
2 tbsp rice wine vinegar
2 tbsp soft brown sugar
2 star anise
Flour, for rolling
500g block puff pastry (we used vegan Jus-Rol)
1 orange, zested
Peppery green salad, to serve

                                                    A CONTAINER TO TAKE IT HOME IN

Method

      1. Heat oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6. In a bowl, toss the beetroot and onion in 2
         tbsp of the oil, the vinegar and sugar. Add the star anise and season well. Heat
         the rest of the oil in a large, ovenproof non-stick frying pan, then nestle in the veg
         so that they cover the surface of the pan. Sauté them for ten minutes to soften.

      2. On a well-floured surface, roll the pastry to a thickness of 0.5cm and cut out a
         circle the same size as your frying pan. Carefully take the pan out of the oven,
         remove the foil and wiggle the beets and onion around in the pan to make a
         compact layer. Put the pastry on top, tucking it in all around the edges, then
         return the pan to the oven and bake for 35 mins or until the pastry has puffed up
         and is a deep golden brown.

      3. Slide a palate knife around the edge of the tart, then put a plate on top of the
         pastry, serving side down. Flip the pan over to turn the tart out onto the plate –
         be careful not to burn yourself with the handle. Top with the orange zest and a
         sprinkle of sea salt, then serve with a peppery salad on the side.

LESSON SIX-FRANCE
                                                PROFITEROLES

Ingredients

50g butter (preferably unsalted), cut into cubes
2 tbsp caster sugar
75g strong white flour, sifted with a pinch of fine sea salt
2 eggs, lightly beaten
300ml double cream
Few drops vanilla extract

For the sauce
50g cocoa powder
175g caster sugar

**** As these don’t always succeed, school will provide all of the ingredients! ****

                AN AIRTIGHT CONTAINER FOR THE PROFITEROLES

Method

   1. Heat the oven to 220C/200C fan/gas 7. To make the profiteroles, put the
      butter and 2 tsp of the caster sugar in a saucepan with 150ml water. Place
      the pan over a low heat until the butter and sugar have melted, then bring
      to the boil. Take off the heat, add the flour all at once and beat
      energetically with a wooden spoon until the dough comes away from the
      sides of the pan.
   2. Leave to cool for 5 mins, then beat in the eggs bit by bit until you have a stiff,
      glossy mixture. Rinse two baking trays with cold water, shaking off any excess
      so they are slightly damp (this helps the pastry to rise). Using 2 teaspoons,
      spoon blobs of the mixture onto the baking trays. Then place in the oven
      and cook for about 18-20 mins until well risen and brown. Remove the
      profiteroles from the oven and cut a small slit in the base of each one so
      they don’t collapse. Cool on a wire rack.

3. When they’re cold, whip the cream lightly until just holding its shape.
         Sweeten to taste with remaining sugar and a few drops of vanilla extract.
         Cut the profiteroles in half, fill them with the sweetened cream and pile them
         up on a plate. You can refrigerate them for 1-2 hrs at this point but not for
         any longer as the pastry will go soggy.
      4. To make the sauce, sift the cocoa powder into a bowl. Put the sugar in a
         pan with 100ml water and warm over a low heat until dissolved. Bring to the
         boil, cook for 1 min, then pour over the cocoa powder and stir well until
         smooth. Return the sauce to the pan, cook for 1 min then set aside for 15
         mins before drizzling over the profiteroles

LESSON NINE-MEXICO
                             CHILLI CON CARNE AND MEXICAN POTATOES

Ingredients

1 tbsp oil
1 large onion
1 red pepper
2 garlic cloves, peeled
1 heaped tsp hot chilli powder (or 1 level tbsp if you only have mild)
1 tsp paprika
1 tsp ground cumin
500g lean minced beef or Quorn mince
1 beef stock cube
400g can chopped tomatoes
½ tsp dried marjoram
1 tsp sugar
2 tbsp tomato purée
410g can red kidney beans
200g potatoes
1 tbsp olive oil
1 onion , finely chopped
1 garlic clove, finely chopped
½ tsp mild chilli powder
½ tsp paprika
1 tsp cumin
½ tsp cayenne pepper

                       ONE LARGE OR TWO MEDIUM CONTAINERS WITH LIDS

Method

      1. Prepare your vegetables. Chop 1 large onion into small dice, about 5mm
         square. The easiest way to do this is to cut the onion in half from root to tip,
         peel it and slice each half into thick matchsticks lengthways, not quite cutting
         all the way to the root end so they are still held together. Slice across the

matchsticks into neat dice. Cut 1 red pepper in half lengthways, remove stalk
       and wash the seeds away, then chop. Peel and finely chop 2 garlic cloves.
  2.   Start cooking. Put your pan on the hob over a medium heat. Add the oil and
       leave it for 1-2 minutes until hot (a little longer for an electric hob). Add the
       onions and cook, stirring fairly frequently, for about 5 minutes, or until the
       onions are soft, squidgy and slightly translucent. Tip in the garlic, red pepper,
       1 heaped tsp hot chilli powder or 1 level tbsp mild chilli powder, 1 tsp paprika
       and 1 tsp ground cumin. Give it a good stir, then leave it to cook for another
       5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  3.   Brown the 500g lean minced beef. Turn the heat up a bit, add the meat to
       the pan and break it up with your spoon or spatula. The mix should sizzle a bit
       when you add the mince. Keep stirring and prodding for at least 5 minutes,
       until all the mince is in uniform, mince-sized lumps and there are no more pink
       bits. Make sure you keep the heat hot enough for the meat to fry and become
       brown, rather than just stew.
  4.   Making the sauce. Crumble 1 beef stock cube into 300ml hot water. Pour this
       into the pan with the mince mixture. Open 1 can of chopped tomatoes (400g
       can) and add these as well. Tip in ½ tsp dried marjoram and 1 tsp sugar, if
       using (see tip at the bottom), and add a good shake of salt and pepper. Squirt
       in about 2 tbsp tomato purée and stir the sauce well.
  5.   Simmer it gently. Bring the whole thing to the boil, give it a good stir and put a
       lid on the pan. Turn down the heat until it is gently bubbling and leave it for 20
       minutes.
  6.   Bring on the beans. Drain and rinse 1 can of red kidney beans (410g can) in a
       sieve and stir them into the chilli pot. Bring to the boil again, and gently bubble
       without the lid for another 10 minutes, adding a little more water if it looks too
       dry. Taste a bit of the chilli and season. It will probably take a lot
       more seasoning than you think. Now replace the lid, turn off the heat.

Now make your Mexican Potatoes

  1. Boil the potatoes for 5 mins. Meanwhile, heat the oil in a frying pan and gently
     fry the onion for 8 mins. Add the garlic and spices, then fry for 2 mins more.
  2. Drain the potatoes and tip into the onion mix. Turn up the heat and shake the
     potatoes around so that they are all covered. Cook for 10 mins more until
     tender, then serve with soured cream, sprinkled with a little cayenne.

1 onion, chopped
1 heaped tbsp chipotle paste
500g carton passata
500ml vegetable stock
400g can kidney beans, drained and rinsed
400g can black beans, drained and rinsed

                                   A WATER TIGHT CONTAINER FOR THE SOUP

Method

      1. Heat the oil in a large pan and cook the onion over a medium heat for 10
         mins to soften. Stir in the chipotle paste, passata, stock and all the beans.
         Season, bring to the boil, then gently simmer for 5 mins.
      2. Meanwhile, in a bowl crumble the feta and mix with the garlic. Divide
         between the tortillas, spreading over one half of each, then sprinkle over a
         little pepper. Fold the uncovered side over and press down. Heat a dry frying
         pan and cook the tortillas on both sides for a couple of mins until the feta
         has melted and the tortillas are crisp.

LESSON ELEVEN-CARIBBEAN
                              JERK CHICKEN WITH RICE AND PEAS

Ingredients

12 chicken thighs, bone in (or aubergine, sweet potato for veggie version)
1 lime, halved

For the jerk marinade
1 big bunch spring onions, roughly chopped
Thumb-sized piece ginger, roughly chopped
3 garlic cloves
½ a small onion
2 chillies, deseeded if you want less heat
½ tsp dried, or 1 tbsp thyme leaves
Juice 1 lime
2 tbsp soy sauce
2 tbsp vegetable oil
3 tbsp brown sugar
1 tbsp ground allspice

For the rice & peas
200g basmati rice
400g can coconut milk
1 bunch spring onions, sliced
2 large thyme sprigs
2 garlic cloves, finely chopped
1 tsp ground allspice
1 x 410g cans kidney beans, drained

              ONE LARGE OR TWO MEDIUM CONTAINERS WITH LIDS

                        Registered Office: Tyne House 140 High Street Lewes East Sussex BN7 1XS - Charity Number 1163491
Method

      1. To make the jerk marinade, combine all the ingredients in a food
         processor along with 1 tsp salt, and blend to a purée. If you’re having trouble
         getting it to blend, just keep turning off the blender, stirring the mixture, and
         trying again. Eventually it will start to blend up – don’t be tempted to add
         water, as you want a thick paste.
      2. Taste the jerk mixture for seasoning – it should taste pretty salty, but not
         unpleasantly, puckering salty. You can now throw in more chillies if it’s not
         spicy enough for you. If it tastes too salty and sour, try adding in a bit more
         brown sugar until the mixture tastes well balanced.
      3. Make a few slashes in the chicken thighs and pour the marinade over the
         meat, rubbing it into all the crevices. Cover and leave to marinade.
      4. To cook in the oven, heat to 180C/160C fan/gas 4. Put the chicken pieces in
         a roasting tin with the lime halves and cook for 45 mins until tender and
         cooked through.
      5. While the chicken is cooking, prepare the rice & peas. Rinse the rice in plenty
         of cold water, then tip it into a large saucepan with all the remaining
         ingredients except the kidney beans. Season with salt, add 300ml cold water
         and set over a high heat. Once the rice begins to boil, turn it down to a
         medium heat, cover and cook for 10 mins.
      6. Add the beans to the rice, then cover with a lid. Leave off the heat for 5 mins
         until all the liquid is absorbed. Squeeze the roasted lime over the chicken and
         serve with the rice & peas, and some hot sauce if you like it really spicy.
