Given
only one parade to prep and plan, cadets were tasked with creating a
culinary feast based on a theme with decorations and entertainment.
Supervised by staff, cadets were then given basic cooking equipment
on which to prepare their meals. Due to the lovely British summer
weather there was a last minute dash indoors so the planned Trangia
and gas stoves were swapped to indoor electric hob, microwave and
toaster!
Team
America promised a trip across the USA with Nachos, Star-Spangled
Burgers and Maple Pancakes. They went the extra mile to decorate the
room in red, white and blue. Even Maryllin Monroe and Elvis were
invited! The stars and stripes lay across the table and there was
attention to detail with hand-made flowers. Cadet Jeffs entertained
the diners during the main-course with his keyboard skills.
Team
Eurovision prepared a delightful dish of mushrooms in White Wine
sauce, Paella and Belgian Chocolate pudding for desert. Their simple
but effective decorations went alongside Eurovision highlights from
the ages on the big screen and a vintage Shloer was poured by the
wine-waiter!

The
cooking challenge has formed part of the Life-Skills sessions and
following its success there will be more cooking lessons in store for
the squadron. For more photos, check out the 84 Squadron Facebook Page.
