Jared's a weekly regular at WK for a few years now. It's seen him grow from a socially awkward, and often disruptive kid, to one who leads others and has a strong sense of social justice.
His challenge came from a passing comment to Papa Tim about how the men in my house can't cook anything more than beans on toast. Papa Tim created a huge challenge for Jared's purple belt: to cook a three course meal for the family.
Quite a step up from a tin of beans!
Jared wanted to do something that everyone liked; he picked fruit kebabs for a starter, prawns and rice with lemon butter sauce (my favourite food) for a main, and apple crumble for dessert - the most important dish as both guys love the sweet stuff.
With a bit of guidance and help with reading the recipes, Jared undertook the challenge with determination. The photos show how he enjoyed doing it all.
We were really proud of him and the meal was delicious. I think he was the most surprised of all of us at how great it all tasted!
He now makes apple crumble regularly and has even expanded to making rocky road and other desserts.
Thanks Tim for broadening his mind, and who knows, maybe a future career beckons. I know I'll enjoy that!
Cheers
Tracey
