For the first time, Wednesday's demo was a family affair with the combined culinary might of both Darina and Rory out in force! Darina talked, Rory styled, and Pam/Emer did most of the work...but it worked, and kept us all highly amused for the morning. Some miniature delights....
Shepherd's Pie
Sesame and Anchovy Straws
Quails' Eggs
Thai Green Chicken Curry
Miniature Smoked Salmon Sandwiches
Spiced Indian Meatballs with Coriander and Pomegranate Raiita
Lamb Fillet
Smoked Salmon Wheels
We also had a sushi demonstration with a lady called Shermin, and a Japanese lady on our course, Satoko, both of whom made it look super easy. Plus, sushi doesn't necessarily equate raw fish, it refers exclusively to the special 'sushi' rice which must be cooked in a specific way with vinegar then cooled quickly before being moulded into sushi. Good to know! A picture of them 'fanning the rice'....
and some of the end product....
Finally, in danger of pictorial overload, theory day's biscuit of the week, yummy biscottis...
....and a very cute, very ripe little Rocamadour on the cheese board. Really quite tiny, just 2 inches in diameter...
