NEW Online Training
Safe Food Handling for the Early Years Sector - Level 2
Have you completed our online Safe Food Handling for the Early Years Sector training in the last 12 months? If so, you are ready for Level 2!
This second food safety session for educators and cooks builds on your knowledge from Level 1 by exploring more complex food safety concepts, like thermometer calibration, cooling food and food recall.
It takes an in-depth look at food experiences with children and highlights important steps we can take to ensure these valuable learning experiences are safe for all.
Throughout this session you will be required to appropriately respond to real life scenarios where food becomes a potential hazard. These activities will cement your knowledge and ensure you are able to respond appropriately to hazards whenever they may arise.
Hot Topic
Is white meat as bad for your cholesterol levels as red meat?
A recent article by The Conversation unpacks some recent headlines claiming "white meat is just as bad for your cholesterol levels as red meat". Looking at the study from which these claims originated, this article discusses how the study was conducted, the key findings and how we should interpret the results. Take a look at the full article here.
Recipe Idea
Roasted Capsicum Hommus
Homemade hommus is super easy to make and absolutely delicious too! Paired with grainy crackers or vegetable sticks, this is a great snack to prepare for the week ahead.
In a food processor, simply blend together roasted and cooled chopped capsicum with a can of drained and rinsed chickpeas, fresh garlic, tahini, lemon juice, extra virgin olive oil, salt and pepper until smooth.
