One of the main things I did for the creativity aspect of CAS before Christmas were our cooking club sessions.
First of all, I would like to thank Mr Gray, who kindly allowed us to use his chemistry lab during Monday lunchtimes for our club.
Each weekend me and Karina spent some quality time trying to come up with new and original ideas for the meals that we could cook in school. Even though it sounds really easy - to choose and find a suitable recipe - it was quiet challenging at times since there was a limited amount of cooking utensils available in the chemistry lab - we had to use a bunsen burner, because it was the only way to boil even small amounts of water.
Some of the things we've cooked over the first trimester were: Russian dumplings with meat and jam; pesto sauce and Korean rolls. I think the most challenging of all were the dumplings since they required some actual cooking. We used a bunsen burner to boil some water, however the pan turned out to be too small for all of them to fit in, so we had to cook them in small portions. Even though the dough turned out to be too thick and therefore wasn't really cooked properly, overall I was happy with the result and the people who came to the session seemed to be enjoying it. :)
Here are some pictures taken during the cooking club sessions. Furthermore, Karina has a video from the pesto session on her blog - http://karinasemochkinacas.blogspot.ru/2012/10/preparing-pesto-in-school.html
