FRUITS AND VEGETABLES

Today's dishes are ......................

• Carrot cake
• Garden Veggie Wrap
• Fruit Trifle
• Broccoli with leek and mushroom cheese soup

Absa hard at work, try to fill the muffin cases

TA DA

Bottom Left: Carrot cake muffin.
The cake was moist and it bursts with flavour. The plus point of this muffin you cannot taste the carrots and this is important because one of my friends doesn't like to eat carrot but she loves cakes and she always wanted to taste a carrot cake. I am so gonna bake this for her.

Top middle of the picture: Broccoli with leek and mushroom cheese soup
Creamy and cheesy at the same time and my favourite vegetable Broccoli.
What more can you ask for?

Bottom Right: Garden Veggie Wrap
Skill for the day was learning how to parboil cabbage to perfection. Not sure whether i will be able to do it but it did look easy. The filling was Yummy.

At the sides of the Broccoli with leek and mushroom cheese soup: Fruit trifle
YUP!!! Strawberries, peaches, pudding and carrot cake. All in one dish, seriously!!! It was great.

THANK YOU GROUP 3.

VEGETARIAN COOKING

My outlook on vegetarian dishes has been changed. I always thought vegetarian cooking was dull and booorrrring cause only vegetables are used. Seriously, how interesting could the dishes get, right?

Take a look at these photos and maybe you might change your mind too!!!

Top Left corner: Vegetarian pizza with a pesto base.

Top right corner: Sambal Goreng. If you are a fan of tofu and beans, this is the dish you need to try.

Centre: Orange jelly (My Favourite). The jelly was full of orange flavour(freshly squeezed) but most importantly the presentation.

CHECK IT OUT!!!!

The jelly is on the orange peel. We had to carve out the orange pulp and fill it up with orange jelly. 

COOL HUH!!!!!

****** MUST TRY DISH********

MICROTEACHING 2

Today's Menu:

• Baked Chicken Sambal
• Chakchouka
• Mutton Masala

BAKED CHICKEN SAMBAL.
Two words: Spicy and Yummy.

CHAKCHOUKA
Once i first saw this name, i expected the dish to be difficult to make but actually it was easy and really interesting to make. Especially when the eggs were poached while cooking the minced chicken. That was my 'take home' skill.

MUTTON MASALA
I am not a fan of mutton but the gravy was creamy and little sour and i liked it cause i like sour food. I know i have weird taste buds.

All the dishes were great.

THANK YOU GROUP 2

MICROTEACHING 1

RICE AND CEREALS.

We were taught three dishes:

• Tuna Fish Quiche
• Holiday Cous Cous
• Penne Pasta with Chicken Grills

This is my team. Absa, Sheema and myself (Premaa).

Teachers hard at work

THE PROCESS
Gathering ingredients and equipment

Chopping and slicing colourful ingredients.

Cooking started!!!

AFTER 3 HOURS OF COOKING

Top left corner: Tuna Fish Quiche. I have always been curious how on a quiche was made and i finally learnt how to make it from scratch.

Top right corner: Holiday Cous Cous. Cous Cous has always been a favourite of mine ever since my university days in Australia. It is my staple food, i don think i can live without eating it at least twice a week.

Centre: Penne pasta with chicken grills. The chicken was yummy because of the herb marinades. Pasta is goes well with anything so the dish was delicious.

OVERALL, THE DISHES TASTED GREAT.

Thank you Group 1.
