“ The cooking experience at Ayr College was really fun . All of it was fun . I really enjoyed cooking the chicken on the griddle . I had to make sure the temperature inside the chicken was 75 degrees , before serving . Stuart , our head chef ( College Lecturer ) was really helpful and taught us lots of skills in the kitchen – including how to sharpen a knife . I think I might want to be a chef when I leave school ” ( S3 Pupil )
