Recipe for celebration News It’s been more than two years in the making, bringing together the best ingredients – youth, experience, taste, passion, heart and soul - to create something truly special. ‘Beyond The Bends – B arrenjoey’s Best Bites’ is a creative collaboration of 200 students and staff and 20 parents, both past and present, celebrating Barrenjoey High School’s 50th Anniversary. With 250 full-colour pages, the glossy tome is not simply a catalogue of favourite recipes, it’s designed as a keepsake of the stories and food that connects the community and celebrates a unique part of the world, explained school parent, commercial photographer and BHS artist in residence Sally Mayman. Residents of Pittwater for 20 years, Sally and husband Gerry’s two sons, Jim and Tom, attended BHS. When Tom was in his final year at Avalon Primary both Gerry and Sally were involved in photographing ‘Avalon Food’, the popular primary school cookbook, so with Tom approaching the end of high school and with many of the original team now at Barrenjoey, Sally thought the time right to create a cookbook for the high school. The school community came on board by sharing their family-favourite recipes and the stories behind them, then students, staff and parents worked together to cook, style and photograph them. “The students were fantastic, their enthusiasm infectious and their ideas invaluable,” Sally said. “The school Technology and Applied Studies staff, led by Caryn Harrington, were wonderful… it was a great collaboration, they constantly juggled classes so as many students as possible could be involved.” Caryn said students from Years 8, 9, 10, 11 and even a few HSCers pitched in, cooking, trouble-shooting recipes, learning how to plate-up and garnish and assisting with photography. “The kids loved it… I don’t think there was one student who wasn’t inspired by the process,” Caryn said. The English department also helped with name brainstorming sessions, with a Year 7 class coming up with the title. “We all loved this as the book is designed to be given to our young people as they leave home and go beyond the bends,” Sally said. “The name also locates our community and captures the feeling we all have when coming home around those bends.” Sally said there were many favourite moments during the book’s production and lots of laughter. “There is a lovely positive 12 DECEMBER 2018 The Local Voice Since 1991
energy generated when a group of women work creatively together. “We bounced ideas around, learned new skills and solved each other’s parenting challenges!” It probably comes as no surprise that one of the most popular recipes is ‘Bowsher’s Bites’ – a recipe which comes from the BHS Principal’s Aunty Pat. “It looks lovely and is quite unique with an interesting mix of sweet, salty and sour flavours,” Sally said. The project was generously supported by 30 local businesses, who made printing it possible, with design supplied by Emma Long (Penguin Graphics) and Petra Timmermann. The coffee table book costs $35 and is available from Barrenjoey HS, Beachside Bookshop, Bookoccino, Rust, Avalon Village Meats, Rusti Fig and Graze n Cakes. “In the true spirit of our community, these wonderful businesses are making no mark-up on the cookbook over summer, with all proceeds going to Barrenjoey High School. “Please support them – and shop local this Christmas,” said Sally. – Lisa Offord News The Local Voice Since 1991 DECEMBER 2018 13
