What we've learned last week.






I'm sorry guys for not updating more often. I've been busy with a lot of things family, myself (not feeling 100% here) and with my other blog (makeup blog) and the gourmet class for beginners...Anyway here's an update on the gourmet class. It was last Friday where we learned roasting a perfect chicken, and appetizer and a dessert. The menu was requested by my students (a mix and match from my original menu).

It was a fun and enlightening class where i think both the students and i learn something new. I for one learn that i need to pre-prepare some of the ingredients (like chopped veges or what not) coz we ran out of time in just a blink....but i like better if the students chop their veges themselves that way they'll learn better, perhaps longer class time? And i'm happy that the students (i had 3 students in a class last week) really learn a lot about cooking, they requested that i didn't expose them to public coz they're embarrassed for being totally clueless in cooking or baking. But this much i can tell ya after the class it sparked cooking and baking interest in them and i'm glad. And actually their Roast chicken, appetizer and even the banofee pie all turned out fabulous especially knowing that they can't cook or bake as they prefer dining out. One of the students is soon to be married, she told me that she wanna be to at least know something to cook when she got married and she wanted to make her best impression to her future mother in law and going to roast the chicken again for her future MIL.

So anyway here the food they made. Its Fabulous everything is cooked perfectly and i'm proud of my students. Perhaps in the future I can add in a bonus where we can have a chef guest to give some gourmet cooking theory tips and stuff, it'll be exciting!

D.I.Y VANILLA ESSENCE

I've always wanted to do my own vanilla essence but vanilla pods are hard to find and if you do finally found them, they are EXPENSIVE! but.... i was in luck the other day. While i was buying some stuff for my baking project, i saw vanilla pods in the store and it so happens they sell it by piece (they usually sell in grams therefore they're expensive) it was RM1.20/pc. I bought 5 of them heheheh....

i made myself vanilla sugar and vanilla essence.
so apparently all recipes for vanilla essence includes VODKA mmmmm~ well that's not an option...so after a long hard stare on the computer....searching for non alcohol based vanilla essence recipe...i finally got one...

What you need is
11/2c food glycerin
1/2c warm water
2 vanilla pods
a glass jar sterilized - i use my old coffee jar

pour glycerin and warm water in the jar.
cut the vanilla pods in the middle length wise exposing the seeds. with a small spatula or butter knife scrape it clean and put them in the glycerin mixture. stir it a bit then put in the pods as well. close the lid and keep it in a dark place. let it set/marinate there for 3weeks-4weeks. then before using it you may strain it first but if you don't mind the tiny seeds, its ok too.


this is only 3 days old...the color will slowly change to a yellowish brow (like any store bought vanilla essence does) so no worries!
*its best to use a dark jar but a clear jar is ok so long it is kept in a dark place.
