Summary:

Chef Michael Coaker is on a mission to big up food and food technology in schools through the Chef's Adopt a School's project. In this programme he visits Rosedale College in west London and is challenged to complete a dish in a single 55 minute lesson. The head of food technology at Rosedale College is Denise Buttigieg and she takes the first Year 9 class while Michael assists and prepares lemon curd and meringue for their lemon curd tartlets. It's a rush but they just about complete their product but have to stay on to taste them. Michael takes over for the next Year 9 class and pairs up the pupils to do both the pastry and filling for a spinach and ricotta pasty. Again the pace is frantic and as the clock ticks down Denise says, The bell's about to go, and I m worried now. They haven't finished and they have to go home. It's a great experience for the pupils but for Denise and Michael it proves that even with the best facilities and a chef on hand, 55 minutes is not enough.
