Pupils Impress in Annual Masterchef Competition
Pupils at King’s College took part in their annual Masterchef Competition at the Leiths Cookery School.
Given only £25 and 90 minutes, pupils were asked to create a three course symphony of tastes that would impress the chefs, Amanda Williams and former pupil Ross Stacey, as well as Headmaster, Mr Sloan.
Pupils went above and beyond making fresh profiteroles and pasta.
The winner of the junior event was Taylor House and for the senior category Carpenter House was victorious.
Judge, Amanda Williams, said: ‘Some fabulous food was produced by a fun bunch of young people; great flavours, a range of textures and ideas that are on-trend with the current food market.’
King’s College has cookery courses available for its pupils, with younger pupils joining cookery lessons and senior pupils able to work towards a Leith Cookery qualification.

The pod has advanced sound and lighting systems installed, as well as comfortable seating to enable staff and pupils to unwind and have time to reflect and recharge.
Having the opportunity to meditate regularly will help with managing stress, improve concentration and help create a more positive approach to learning.
Headmaster, Michael Sloan, said: ‘The mental health and wellbeing of our pupils, staff, and parents are a top priority for us, and this will be a valuable addition to our resources.’
