So the weekend cooking course was EXO! There were 17 people in the class and the chef was really nice. ( unlike some other chefs I have known in the past - LOL) We were all given jobs to do - which freaked both my sister and I out a little bit because :
1. I have a phobia about chicken. I wear gloves in the kitchen whenever I am dealing with raw chicken and I constantly worry that it is not going to be cooked properly and henceforth burn it to billy-o - so I was worried that I was going to be given the job that involved cutting up the chicken meat
2.My sister was worried that she would be given any job because she thinks she is bad in the kitchen although I sometimes think it is a cover to get out of the cooking duties - which then means she is actually quite brilliant.
We were however given jobs that we could deal with, which over the 4 hours included
- peeling garlic
- chopping chillies - finely
- cutting pork and threading them onto kebabs
- making paste
- roasting spices and
- cracking coconut cream
and then at the end we got to sit down to an absolutely yummy 5 dish meal - YUM. Guess what we are having for dinner tonight?

Thai-jealous - that's what I am !
That looked like some really yum coconut curry and I totallly love them.
I am pleased that neither of you got stuck with jobs that were unpleasant.
Cannot wait for you to cook for us !
What a great way to spend a weekend. My flatmate did a 1-day cooking course and learnt to make Christmas tree carrots - did you learn any special tricks like that??
So do you suffer from Alektorophobia or are you just very cautious when dealing with chicken meat due to it's higher possibility of having salmonella ?
unfortunately we didn't learn christmas tree carrots - maybe Leesy J your faltmate could tecah me sometime. As for T - I just worry about the salmonella potential...i know it is irrational but alas when has that ever stopped me from doing anything!!!
