Cooking class~

Yesterday was my last day of school before my exams. I had a midterm in the morning which i think went quite well.

That afternoon, I went with my sister to our friend's dance studio to help out as it just opened. It's a very nice dance studio and theres free classes all week~ how exciting!
Afterwards, we walked down to Sydney Fish Market School where we had our coking class "What to cook and how to cook it'.

It was a great class, at the start, we were given a demonstration by the Jane Hornby of the 3 dishes we were going to make: Prawn & Mushroom Laksa, Steamed Salmon with Garlic, Ginger, greens & Rice, and Sticky Toffee Pudding.
Jane Hornby flew down from London just the day before!

The demonstrations took an hr where it was like a lecture room.

We were then taken to the kitchen where we grouped up into 5ppl per bench.

 So my sister and I met some new ppl and worked together to make our 3 dishes. I was in charge of the sticky toffee pudding with this Scottish lady. The recipe was actually quite simple, we just needed to get it in the oven asap as it took awhile to bake. My sister worked with another lady to prepare the salmon and bok choy on a dish so that we can steam it, and the last person worked on the laksa.
As we got our dishes to cooking, we helped the last person with the laksa as there were more steps to do.



Here are our finished products!
Laksa

Steamed Salmon

Sticky Toffee Pudding - may not look so nice, but it was definitely delicious!

We then set up our table in the dining room, and brought the food out to enjoy what we made with a glass of wine.
It was very good (not to brag or anything)! We then had a lovely dinner, chatting and having a great time.
At the end, the gave us all a goodies bag that included a can of coconut milk, sea salt flakes, chicken stock and a small recipe book for using the ingredients form the brand 'Ayam' and a cooler bag.
We also received Jane Hornby's new cookbook with lots and lots of recipes.
We tried to take a picture with her, but i only had my phone camera and the lighting was so dim, that you couldn't even see me.....=/

Anyhow, it was one great cooking class~ and definitely worth the money with all the goodies=)

LOVED it~
Me, Jane, Janet
