We are very proud to present the results of the first Recipe Look Class Workshop, made by the kids of Newham Primary School in Australia! The school is in country Victoria, north of Melbourne in the Macedon Ranges. The school is in the town of Newham, which consists of a hall, the school, a shop and a firestation!

We like how all the kids chose to represent the stages of cooking in very different ways. Some like explosive colours, others prefer tidy boxes. Thank you to all the kids who took part and made such lovely recipes, and to their teacher, Eron Chapman, for getting in touch with us. It is a first at recipe look and we encourage more kids to surprise us with their fresh ideas!

All the children were asked to represent the same recipe, for fruit muffins, so we get to see how different people tackle the same ingredients. We have arranged the drawings into three categories; the organics, the explosives and the organised, and they will be shown over three posts, starting here. We hope you enjoy…

Iveth Morales kicks off the Hottest Recipe Competition with this hot drink from her home country: Mexico. She says, ‘It’s like a slush, you can drink it but also eat it with a spoon. It has two main ingredients: mangoes and chamoy sauce, which is a sweet and spicy sauce made from apricots and chillies (among other things). I guess in Britain you can find it in mexican or latinamerican specialty stores. Mangonada is really spicy and sweet at the same time, it is also extremely good!’
