COOKING CLASSES ......

The cooking classes were well attended
We introduced ourselves over a cuppa and spoke of our expectations of  attending the classes ...
I then told the classes how I intend to fill their expectations over the coming weeks.
Everyone had been asked to bring along a tea towel , because the first lesson was making scones .
There was not a rolling pin in sight , just a bowl, flour , salt , butter , milk and a knife at everyone`s station .
We followed a basic scone recipe dispelling a lot of common myths about making scones along the way.
It was so much fun , and we soon became friends sharing horror stories of past scone failures and some who had never attempted scones before .
The class shared memories of nanas and aunts who made scones so differently to the way we were.
Then the anxious wait of the class bending to watch their scones rise fluffy and high in the oven .
There were smiles and real excitement as they wrapped their scones in their tea towels to take home and share with their family friends .
We talked about stevia  ....as a natural sweetener
Next week we are going to work with grains ......
