Aga Baking with Sarah Whitaker

The Aga Lady Sarah Whitaker joined us at Treetops for a day of Aga Baking

It's incredible what she manages to create in such a short space of time!

Whilst she talked about the Aga, the different ovens and how to roast, bake, fry, steam, simmer etc there was a different bake being made

In a very short space of time we had sponge pudding, brownies, meringues, bread, christmas cake, a pineapple cake, pina colada tart, cheesecake, welsh cakes and a fantastic showstopper cake, a light sponge with whipped cream and white chocolate, a dark chocolate collar and topped with fresh fruit, delicious!

A delicious tasting tea of all the food cooked was enjoyed by everyone.

Christmas Aga with Sarah Whitaker

Delicious and Festive

A great morning with Sarah and her Christmas recipes, ideas for the day itself and the days surrounding Christmas when you may be entertaining.

Plenty of top tips to do with ingredients, oven juggling, freezing and making ahead.

It's amazing what Sarah can achieve in 2.5 hours!

We had the turkey, roast potatoes, vegetables galore, a vegan curry, a rice dish, a vegetarian tart and 3 puddings!

The red cabbage below was delicious after it's simmer in mulled wine ....

The lighting of the Christmas Pud ...

After Sarah has finished, everyone enjoys a tasting lunch of all the food cooked along with some mulled wine.

Thanks to Sarah for another great Treetops Aga class.

Sharing top tips along the way, on how to get the most out of your Aga, and your ingredients!

I seemed to have forgotten to take a photo of the chocolate fudge cake!  Maybe because it went so fast!
