French Cookery Class


We had a great class today, plenty of chopping and involvement for the Prawn and Saffron Vegetable Terrine. Yet more slicing for the delicious French Apple Flan; Vanessa made a huge one for our pudding and everyone got the opportunity to make a smaller one to take home. The filling was gorgeous, and I was very pleased by my recent IKEA purchase of a huge stockpot, as we pureed a huge amount of apple, it took me back to preparing babyfood, ready to freeze in batches!

We also recognised Shrove Tuesday and wrapped some pork fillets in crepes, followed by puff pastry (and other ingredients) to make a very popular Pork Fillet en Croute with Dijon Sauce.

There were plenty more great recipes and top tips from Vanessa, especially advice on what can be prepared ahead of time, which is always helpful when you are entertaining.

Summer Classes with spaces available are: Tuesday 5 May - Lazy Days Cookery and Wednesday 24 June - Summer Cookery.
