Cookery Apprentices whip up a storm in the kitchen

Some of HITsa's Admin and Management teams were very fortunate to be invited to the Edwardstown commercial kitchen to sample a few dishes being created by the apprentice cooks who are into week two of prepare meat dishes.

They enjoyed perfectly cooked steak which was adorned with Café de Paris (herbed butter for steak). Included here is the recipe for the butter as it takes steak to a whole new level..... and with summer coming its perfect BBQ weather.

Café de Paris

• 100g butter, at room temperature
• 1 garlic clove, crushed
• 2 drained anchovy fillets, finely chopped
• 1 tsp Dijon mustard
• 1 tsp baby capers, rinsed, drained
• 1 tbs chopped fresh chives
• 1 tbs chopped fresh continental parsley

The star dish of the day was the much anticipated Baby Cabrito (Goat) Stew which was tender and rich in flavour.

It was a great opportunity to break bread with the Apprentices and Chef David, their trainer, to enjoy a great meal and relaxed chat about their training and workplaces.

Student Testimony

"I am a year twelve student from Thomas More College who undertook the opportunity to become a VETRO student with HITsa Training and Employment.

I completed this training online, whilst still studying at school and attended the Salisbury campus once a fortnight.

HITsa worked with my school schedule and timetable allowing me to excel in my education. Whilst in class at HITsa I got to experience in an adult learning environment and was provided all the resources and guidance needed from the trainers.

HITsa sourced a work placement that worked with my school schedule and checked in weekly via phone to ensure I was getting the support I needed. A trainer also came to the site for a visit to ensure I understood how the work placement logbook was to be completed and to discuss my placement experience.

The experiences I gained from HITsa and work placement component of the course were very valuable. Not only will I gain a certification, my confidence and belief in my abilities were heightened. I am now excited to join the work force and make a difference to those living with a disability within our communities."
