Crhis started by showing us round the kitchen which sink to use for what - there are three! One for handwashing, one for food prep, and one for "dirty" dishes. Three bins - one for compostible stuff one for other stuff and one for glass. Then it was about hygiene n cleaning the work surfaces.
Then we got a little apron each which we get to keep. Then we started making the dough for the pizza, my did my hand ache with all that kneading. but it turned out to be worth it in the end.And while that was proving, Chris showed us how to make sweet and sour, and egg fried rice. If you haven't guessed by now the theme of the lesson was "Ban the Takeaway". We even got to try Chris's sweet/sour and egg fried! So much better than what I have tried before, and "lighter" to eat.
Then it was decorate your pizza time - we made the sauce from chopped toms, mixed herbs and a bit of olive oil, then it was do what ever we wanted re the topping. I choose cheese (it was a mix of mozerella and cheddar to give it flavour), then red/green/yellow peppers, red onion, ham, a bit more cheese and a few peppers.
While they were cooking Chris went over the rest of the course - next weeks is healthy eating, I must rememebr not to have any tea before I go over! lol lol
They didn't take too long too cook, and when they were, rather than try our own, Chris gave us a slice of his own pizza he had done!
At the end we all got a little folder to keep the recipes that we try - I quite fancy having a go at some egg fried at the weekend as you can freeze that so I can make a few portions as it is just me on my own.
Things I picked up last night..
Did you know that you must cool rice after you have cooked it ( you run it under the cold to the tmeperature of the cold water)? It is because heat resistant spores can start to grow if you leave it to carry on "cooking"Statistics: Posted by chenrezig — 10 Sep 2014, 06:34
