Survival Cooking Day One Round Up
We spent the afternoon making pasta sauces, lasagne, salads, chocolate chip cookies and rhubarb fool. Just waiting for the lasagne to cook so time to get everyones thoughts on the day:
Harry: I walked through the door not knowing what to expect and when Charles and i made the carrott and corriander soup and chibatta bread i never believed it would taste good until i tried it. The first day was more useful than i believed the whole course would be before the start. It was a great start to the weekend and i’m looking forward to day 2 and picking up more useful tips.
Eleanor: The whole day has been very busy. I started off making some white bread and the minestrone with Tom, there was a lot of chopping but the finished result was delicious! We also made pesto to go with it and that turned out REALLY garlicky but still yummy. I can’t wait to eat the chocolote cookies. Yum Yum!
Tom: Today has been busy as first of all i made minestrone with eleanor., it turned out to be very tasty. sfter that we made a mushroom sauce and tomato sauce. i’m looking forward to the second day and the tips and dishes that we’ll learn tomorrow.
Lucy: Today was a really interesting first day, I made Spiced Chickpea soup which came out tasting really good, much to my surprise! This afternoon has been great fun as there’s been a huge bustle in the kitchen with everyone producing different pastas, desserts, cookies etc and I made my first lasagna!! All in all its been a great day but if I don’t get off here now I’m going to miss out on the best part … the eating!!!
Hattie: so far i have had fun i made a spiced chickpea soup what was very nice with some bread afer that we made lasagna what was fun and some other people made mushroom sauce and tomato sauce then we all sat down and ate.
Charles: Today i made a lasange, a carrot and coriander soup and ciabatta bread. The day was on the whole very interesting as i have picked up many different ideas to use later on in life, but also i am starting to understand how different foods compliment each other, and how complex it can be to make up a meal from scratch.
David: everyones worked really hard and the day has been pretty non-stop. The result has been some great tastings and evryone relaxed and laughing and looking forward to day 2. I think we’ll all sleep well.
