Thanks guys,

I was thinking a mild, a medium and a hot... korma/CTM/madras, give them the choice of which one they want to make and split them into groups based on this when they're at that stage.  They can all contribute towards the gravy and then divide it up as I'm not sure how I would scale down to them each making a portion of gravy for themselves.  Veg pakoras with sauce, naan and pilau rice.  Job done!

Makes it sound so easy when I put it like that eh?   ;D

Open to suggestions or alternatives of course - has anyone done similar tuition that could give me some pointers?

On reflection that footnote does come across as a bit conceited... sorry Chris

As part of the schools activities days in May I have volunteered to teach some 1st-4th year secondary school pupils the fine art of BIR cooking.  Thought I'd struggle to fill 10 spaces because I thought it was more an adult thing and it was a manageable number for a small group session.... I've got 33 kids wanting to do it!  Pleased with the news but a bit worried at the same time, especially as I've no experience of  teaching, food or otherwise

A bit harsh CA?  Giving knowledge doesn't necessarily go hand in hand with altruism.  What's the old saying about giving a man a fish and feeding him for a day?  A businessman will charge for the fishing rod  ;D

Another one...

For quick and simple PDF creation at its most basic there's always the free PDF-creating alternatives such as CutePDF Writer and PrimoPDF, once installed you can "print" any document (such as those produced from MS Office and OpenOffice) and save as a PDF.

Agreeed.  But don't they lead to exactly the problem that an earlier writer pointed out -- WYSINWYG.  Unless you can select the PDF printer as Word's default output device, the line and page breaks will almost certainly change when you generate the PDF.  Adobe Acrobat (the real thing) has its own printer drivers, so if I set the PDF printer as Word default printer, I can circumvent this.  Do you know whether the same can be accomplished with the free alternatives ?

Of my experiences with those two programs, yes.   I have installed both over the years on many computers, it is used regularly by clients of my part-time IT consultancy business and is installed on all the school computers (my day job as IT tech) without any complaint.  Primo has more configurability (output optimisation for screen, print etc), but Cute has the simplest procedure - it appears as another printer and appears to be treated as such, at least by the Microsoft Office suite of programs.  However, YMMV - it's another (free) option, just putting it out there
