Master Chefs 2022 at Lækjarskóli

Year 10 pupils at Lækjarskóli worked on an ambitious final project in December, where they created their own dishes and served them to the school's management and caretaker. The students were divided into smaller groups and chose their own dishes to cook, which were diverse in nature. The cooking ranged from Greek and Mexican to Italian. It is clear that the young people possess great culinary skills and showed great enthusiasm for this project this winter. The dishes were all beautiful and extremely tasty, and the judging panel had the utmost difficulty choosing the best ones. The competition was the first of its kind at Lækjarskóli and certainly not the last, as it was simply so much fun! A Mexican low-carb wrap was the chosen winner, and the winning recipe can be found below (recipe for two).
