On a nice hot sunny Monday, years 7-8 hopped onto a bus heading to Tamaki College, straight after morning tea at 11:25 for technology. Before we left the classroom, my teacher Mrs Tuokoi, told us what group we were in. The students in my year (year 7's) were in the cooking class with Mrs Heka, along with two other year sevens, and one year eight.
As soon as we got there, we were taken to our rooms. The first thing Mrs Heka instructed us to do, was to store all our jackets, netbooks and extra things in a cubby hole. After that, our job was to chuck an apron on and wash our hands. As we partnered up and figured out where our kitchen was, Mrs Hecka explained how to clean, polish and wash the tables. As that pasted, we got our little trolly with all our cookware, that were needed in order to bake. Later on, and we finally got onto the cooking part. The first instruction we were told to do was to wash the small, silver bowl, then to bring out the pink and green knife, along with the red and green chopping board. Meanwhile Mrs Hecka, made it clear that dishwashers come to front with their red chopping board and knife, to get the bacon in order to make pizza. Secondly came the dryer/packer, with a measuring cup to put two slices of pineapples into. Then grabbing the pizza sauce and a whole wrap bread to use as base for the pizza. We were handed a metalled tray to put our wrap onto, then we spread the tomato sauce all over, making it look like a cherry. Next, we put the bacon onto the tomato sauce, and added the pineapples, with the final touch of sprinkled mozzarella to complete the pizza.
Now comes the dishes. As we did it, time passed and our pizza was ready to come out of the oven. We were told to cut into four pieces, and were handed brown pieces of paper to put it onto. I definitely loved cooking with Mrs Hecka, and am excited and looking forward to doing it next week Monday.
