Spring Cookery Class

We had a great Spring Cookery Class last Friday

Lots of food, fun and oven juggling!

The aim of our Cookery Classes is to look at some inspiring, new, seasonal recipes that you can recreate easily at home for friends and family.

We tend to make a meat main, fish main and vegetarian main, a salad, a cordial and a cocktail, a pud and a bake.  There is a tasting menu of everything we cook and you take home a recipe booklet of everything we've cooked and a few extras.

We enjoy chat about kitchen accessories, gadgets and last week I'd just taken delivery of some lovely freeze dried petals from Polly's Petals, which are perfect for decorating your Spring and Summer bakes.

Above are pieces of cakes wrapped up to take home, it felt just like a party minus the balloons!

Below are just a few of the delicious things we cooked

A Strawberry and Lemon Roulade

A Roasted Radish Salad

A Fish Pie

A Spring Zinger Rhubarb Cocktail

Thank you everyone for coming and to Tara for being my kitchen assistant for the morning.

Christmas Canapes Class

 

Well this class was so brilliant and busy, I didn't get any time to take photos!

But I can say we had a fantastic group in to watch the demonstration of over 10 different canapes for this upcoming festive season, both savoury and sweet.

Learning what could be prepared ahead of time, with plenty of top tips, and sharing of products. In true Blue Peter style I had made extra of many of them, so there wasn't one canape that couldn't be tasted.

Everyone enjoyed a glass of fizz on arrival and enjoyed the canapes being passed around.  

Thanks everyone for coming, it felt and smelt so festive!
