Yasin, Year 7, Wins Federation LinguaChef Prize
Yasin in Year 7 has won a prize in the Federation MFL LinguaChef competition, which invites students to create culinary dishes inspired by the cuisine of different countries.
Fourteen academies took part in the competition and Yasin was the winner for Harris Academy Peckham. Well done Yasin!
For the competition, Yasin made three dishes. "For the appetiser I made a dish called Simet," he said. "It's Turkish and it's like a large bagel with sesame seeds and soft spread and tomatoes."
The main course was called Mokana. "It's Turkish but uses Italian pasta with lots of spices, and in the shape of an Eiffel Tower because I study French!" said Yasin.
"For dessert I made Tanghulu fruits - It's a Hawaiian dish of fresh fruit dipped In sugar syrup."
The judges said they were all truly blown away by the high standard of cuisine, which took them across all of our continents. They called Yasin's menu "an innovative design, showing what can happen when Paris inspires pasta!"
"We learned a lot about you, your reasons for getting into cooking, your culinary techniques and were intrigued by the stories and people behind all of the wonderful dishes that you created," they said.
