COOKING WITH MR DIX By Jonathan Dix
I am the food teacher at Dartford Science and Technology College. As an ex-chef I have a passion for teaching students how to learn about the provenance of food, the seasonality, the skills involved in making food and finally how to create amazing, well balanced nutritious dishes. When lockdown started at the end of March I was very conscious of trying to keep the students cooking. So I started a YouTube channel and Instagram account. The plan was to film some easy to do at home recipes having in mind that there were severe shortages of most things in the shops. Initially I also did a few Cook-a-long Live lessons via Instagram which were a great success. However going forward not everyone is available at the same time so decided to use Youtube as the main driver and Instagram more for information of what was coming up in the new videos.
