Episode 9 - Cake in a Cup!

 This week we have a special guest presenter, EMM to the B who stands in for regular presenter Dylan. She does an amazing job, despite the best efforts of Pete the Teacher to put her off! 

Watch at the 3 minute 17 mark to solve the mystery of how Reece's top went home so filthy and who his mam should send the cleaning bill to!  Also, check out Caitlin's cheeky laugh at the beginning of the episode, it's priceless!

Episode 8 - Sir Pranceabout's Shortbread Shields!

The Catcote Cooks Crew continue their topic of Sir Pranceabout and the Dragon. The gang practice their heraldry skills by making and decorating Shortbread Shields. They looked great and were delicious!

This episode is presented by birthday boy Anth B, with a special, rather grumpy appearance from Anth F.  

Shields ready... CHAAAAAAAAAAARGE!!!  

Episode 7 - Fiery Cheese Scones!

Yowswers! The Catcote Cooks Gang at Catcote Futures are doing the sensory story Sir Pranceabout and the Dragon as their topic this term. The gang have decided tom make some spicy cheese scones that are as hot as the dragon's breath itself!

I think Caitlin puts a little too much spicy cayenne pepper in the recipe and Kieran is a little over enthusiastic with the mustard powder - these bad boys were HOT!!! Sadly, this episode features an apology by (Teacher of the Year 2006) Pete Wells who made a rare blunder. An event not seen since 1962!

Episode 14 - Sandy Beach Cakes

  The Grease the Musical theme continues as we make delicious Sandy Beach Cakes. The sand is blitzed up ginger snaps, which we LOVE! This we...
