There were also two awards for young people who had made significant effort with their creations;  Keefe Bridgeman for his Nutella cheesecake  Sean Calhan for his chocolate orange cupcakes  The winning dishes were recreated at the Townhouse this week when Lee and Eddie welcomed the winners into their kitchen and hosted a gourmet dinner for staff, parents and hotel residents. Staff Tapas Event The S3 pupils studying Health and Food Technology planned a Tapas event for a staff lunch on Friday. It was a very successful event and thoroughly enjoyed by all who took part.
