On Monday 12 October we welcomed Palestinian celebrity professional chef, Laila el-Haddad, author of ‘The Gaza Kitchen’ to College, who was in the area with Frome Friends of Palestine. 

Laila came in to cook with our Year 12 Hospitality students; they made a Palestinian dish which translates to "Sour pomegranate and lentil stew" which they all enjoyed.

We were all very honored to meet her as she took time out of her busy schedule to visit us; we were the only school in the Country who had this fantastic opportunity while she is on tour, on her way to the Frankfurt Book Fair.
