They decided to join up as a group and one of the ideas was to create a special edition DKA cookbook.
Members of staff, parents and students all contributed their signature recipes to be published in this cookbook and is jam packed with mouth watering recipes, some of which include:
- Mr. Miley's healthy and warming fish stew
- Mr. Box's warm prawn and avocado
- Farkhan's classic chicken tikka
- Aneeqa's beautiful banoffee pie
