Manu's Kitchen Rules!
Something delicious was cooking in the TAS kitchen when celebrity chef Manu聽Fieldel joined us for a culinary masterclass in聽support of a social justice initiative.
Manu's Kitchen Rules!
Manu鈥檚 Masterclass saw parents and staff meet for welcome drinks before gathering to watch the My聽Kitchen Rules chef whip up two tasty dishes. The challenge? To recreate the dishes then sample their masterpieces 鈥� all in aid of social justice initiatives.
First on the menu: Banh Xeo Omelette, a thin Vietnamese crepe like pancake with prawns, pork fillet, pickled carrot and onion, and a chilli and lime dressing. As Manu prepared the dish, he shared tips and tricks along the way.

Next up was a Bo Bun French Vietnamese Beef Bowl 鈥� porterhouse scotch fillet, pickled聽carrot, vermicelli noodles and mint and salted peanuts, cooked and dressed in a tasty fish聽sauce and rice vinegar dressing. Every bit as delicious as it sounds.

As he prepared the beef bowl, Manu talked about his journey starting out as a young cook聽in France and ending up as a TV host in Australia, with his own line of sauces for sale in聽supermarkets.
鈥淚鈥檝e been very lucky,鈥� he said.聽鈥淔ood has taken me all over the world and given me the chance to have some amazing聽experiences that I may have never had without it.鈥�
As a father of two, Manu believes there should be more of an education around cooking聽for today鈥檚 young people.聽鈥淐ooking with your children is such a valuable life lesson that you can give to them,鈥� he聽said.
Yet the chef admits that his own son, Jonti, who鈥檚 a 成人综合网 student, isn鈥檛 very interested聽in creating in the kitchen.聽鈥淗e鈥檚 more into his sports. But my five-year-old daughter enjoys being in the kitchen 鈥� she聽can make her own scrambled eggs,鈥� he added.

Manu鈥檚 Masterclass raised a grand total of $4,000, which will be donated to social justice initiatives during the next food tour.
Mary Ramsay, mum of two and President of the Parents鈥� Association, said she really enjoyed聽watching and learning from a professional chef.
鈥淚t was a wonderful evening.聽Great food and another great initiative developed by the school to raise money for a聽worthy cause.鈥�
Et voil脿!
