Healthy Eating: Food Technology

Students in Year 8 have been exploring what a healthy plate looks like according to the dietary advice from the Norwegian Directorate of Health's advice (kostråd fra Helsedirektoratet) They have also looked at the importance of vitamins and minerals in our diet. 

Food technology is an important subject in schools as it not only helps students gain a better understanding of nutrition and cooking, but also allows them to develop important skills in communication and team work in a real-life setting.

Yesterday, the students put theory into practice during their Food Technology lesson in the School Kitchen.

Team work makes the dream work!

The students made a hummus accompanied with sliced carrots and cucumber.

They also made a honey garlic salmon. Salmon is not only a good source of protein, it also is rich in vitamin B12 and vitamin D.

On the side, they made a caesar salad with kale and homemade dressing and homemade croutons. They used kale instead of salad as kale is rich in fibre and contains various vitamins. 

For dessert, they made a lemon bars with a shortbread crust and a lemon filling.
