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.
