Make sure the fridge door is well oiled in your kitchen because it's school holidays and that equates to substantial consumption of food for teenagers.
Ensure the pantry is well stocked with the basics and the fruit bowl is full of fresh, seasonal fruit. Senior students will be seriously studying for the NCEA exams which are just around the corner.
Their brain and cognitive thinking ability will be enhanced and functioning to its full capacity if their bodies are fuelled with quality, nutritious food.
Our recipes this week were prepared by year 10 students in their recent Cultural Food Festival. They are fun and filling for teenagers to make in the holidays.
The Italian margherita pizza is made the traditional way, with the dough mixed on the bench. No need for a bowl.

Food Truck Ride-Along: BBQing in the Streets
31.12.69
I spotted the famed BBQ haunt parked at St Francis Catholic High School’s parking lot. It’s hard to miss: a truck emblazoned with a pig in a chef’s toque. Carnivores rejoice!
A local favorite, Carmona’s BBQ Deli takes their classic American fare to the streets of Watsonville at an affordable price.
Johnny Carmona, owner and chef at Carmona’s BBQ Deli and Carmona’s Catering, conceived Carmona’s food truck to bring restaurant favorites to outside people’s doorsteps.
“There is so many people for lunch who are unable to make it to our place,” says Carmona. “I figured, why don’t we come to them? And if we could create kind of a similar but more affordable lunch prices, because our restaurant has higher prices, then it would make it simpler for people. That way they could just step out of their office, grab some food and go back in.“
The mobile deli offers a variety of choices ranging from breakfast burritos, burgers, tacos, and even a chicken teriyaki bowl. Carmona and crew also make their soup from scratch inside the truck.
