What’s cooking in Year 8?

Year 8 Technology students who are completing their Food Technology unit learned yet another new recipe last week - Lemon Myrtle Shortbread. 

Lemon myrtle can be used in baking to add a unique lemon flavour to cakes, biscuits, and other baked items. Lemon myrtles have been used by Indigenous Australians for 40,000 years, by wrapping the leaves in paperbark to flavour fish dishes, and to treat headaches by crushing and inhaling the leaves.

We applaud our Year 8 students for their dedication to enhancing their skills in the kitchen. We are looking forward to completing another food practical in two weeks time!
