Rotary Young Chef 2012

Rotary Young Chef Competition


 

As part of this years Rotary Young Chef competition, lead Rotarian Duncan Law decided that contestants should know more about where their food comes from. A group of pupils and teachers from the 2 local secondary schools were taken firstly to St. Andrews Farmhouse Cheese factory near Pittenweem where the group were able to sample some of the locally made cheeses before seeing how the product was made.

They were then taken to Cornceres Pig Farm near Anstruther where owner Andrew Peddie showed the students the complete cycle of pig rearing from insemination to preparation for slaughter. Students and teachers were delighted with the trip and declared it a massive success.
