First 'paid for' cooking class!

Thank you Toni, Cathy, Jean-Marie, Dave, Jen and Jan for being my guinea pigs and the first paying customers at a cooking class!  It was slightly manic as we were testing timings and recipes but because they were guinea pigs we did more than would normally be undertaken in a class.  Recipes and photos to follow.
We made -  
Tropical Trifle...layers of peach liquor infused sponge fingers, passionfruit creme patisserie, champagne jelly, diced lychee and mango all topped with whipped cream and tiny melon balls.
Melon Sago...sago in a coconut and palm sugar sauce with rock and galia melon balls throughout.
Star Anise Panna Cotta with Mango Sorbet and Coconut Tuille...a light star anise dessert with quick and easy mango sorbet and a crisp coconut tuille biscuit.
There were surprises, minor hiccoups (miscalculations with setting times) much laughter and a little learning and everyone went home happy and full.

First cooking class booked!

Thanks to the wonderfully supportive Toni Pollard, (who is an excellent Indonesian language teacher and translator should you ever need one in Sydney) I have taken my first booking for a cooking class!  Toni and a few of her friends will enjoy a fun filled but educational 2 - 3 hours on Sunday 30th May.
We are going to explore desserts with an Asian flavour...
Tropical Lychee and Mango Trifle,
Star Anise Pannacotta with Mango Sorbet and Coconut Tuille,
and Sago Pudding with Melon.
It looks like a lot to get through, but I'm confident these women are no slouches in the kitchen already so it's achievable.
Once again, Toni, thank you for your support.
