It’s Christmas time 🌟
‘Tis the season of self-indulgence! A Yule log is a perfect Christmas treat, easy to make and suitable for any xmas party. The transition year students did great work today. 
Whisks at the ready! A great start to the second heat
Well done to all our bakers who took part in the Loreto Bake Off today in school. Brilliant effort by all #HomeEconomics #LoretoBakeOff #firstyears #talent
Simple but effective
The senior cycle Home Economics class got a chance to put their theory into practice yesterday evening. We examined the properties of protein- foam formation, denaturation caused by heat, acids and agitaton, gel formation, elasticity and maillard reaction. The meringues that group 2 produced were superb. There is nothing like an fun filled Friday class to start the weekend.
