SUMMER, AUTUMN AND WINTER

CLASS PROGRAMME

HANDS ON BBQ PARTICIPATION CLASSES

These classes proved to be very popular in our 2007 programme. A substantial luncheon and wines are included in addition to the recipes; class size is restricted to 12 people under the personal instruction of Beverley, representing great fun and value. If you have a gift voucher, please mention this when making your booking and bring the form with you on the day.

BARBECUE COOKING (1)

Prepare a range of marinated meat, fish, poultry with different techniques as diverse as skewered orange lamb, individual foil packages of lemon grass and ginger prawn, basil chicken and more. Lots of fun working together, informative and suitable for any age group. After the hands on preparation, the food is cooked on the barbecue with accompaniments of salads and wines to match. Dessert is then served. Even if the weather is not kind we have under cover facilities for cooking on the barbecue.

Morning classes commence 11 am and usually finish about 2.30 to 3 pm.

Evening classes commence at 6.30 pm and finish about 9. 45 pm.

BARBECUE COOKING (2)

Due to the popularity of the BBQ class, Beverley has created a second BBQ lesson. This is suitable for people who have attended and loved our first class, as well as those who wish to expand their repertoire with BBQ style cooking. This class will include a range of salad accompaniments to BBQ’s, including how to make the best French potato salad, a way to make ordinary tomatoes really flavoursome and of course meat, fish and vegetable BBQ dishes. As each class is complete in itself you do not need to have done Barbecue (1) to come to (2)

TEA AT THE RITZ (Single Lesson- Repeat Lesson)

A selection will be shown and then you will try them all as if you were having afternoon tea at the Ritz. If you don’t want to entertain in this manner, all these ideas are wonderful to keep on hand for guests. Many can be frozen.

Sunday April 27 1.45 pm arrival

Tuition fee: $80

ITALIAN DINNERS (Two Lessons) (New Lessons)

There are many regions and all kinds of lively tastes in Italian food and some will be combined in creating dinners rather than concentrating on one area. Fish spiedini, a stuffed beef roll, pasta with sauce of a thousand tastes and a velvety lemon ricotta tart are included.

AUTUMN AND WINTER MAINS ( Two Lessons) (New Lessons)

Tuesday May 20 & 27 10.15 am or 7 pm

Tuition: $145

UNUSUAL DESSERT CAKES (Single lesson) (New Lesson)

Cakes make an easy finish to a casual meal as you can always bake them in advance but if you are serving them as a dessert it is good to make something different than the usual orange and almond or flourless chocolate cake seen on so many menus. A grated potato and chocolate cake with a chocolate truffle topping, a crunchy polenta and blueberry cake and a fruity moist pumpkin and pecan will be featured.

Tuesday August 5 10.15 am or 7 pm

As well as the pasta three easy but delicious sauces will be demonstrated and of course you will have a generous portion to taste on each table as the sauces and pasta are made.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

PRODUCTS AVAILABLE THROUGH THE SCHOOL

As well as the books we stock a small amount of kitchen and pantry items for sale. We know these work well because we use them daily and test them to make sure they fulfil the requirements of keen cooks. They must be not only useful but also reliable and make ideal gifts for hard-to-buy friends, clients or colleagues who love to cook.

Baking sheets of hi-tech silicone (Per sheet, $18 plus $10 packing & postage)

Nothing sticks to this baking sheet which can be used over and over and in the long run is far more economical than buying baking paper. Just dip into the sink in warm water and wipe dry. Put it on your baking tin when cooking sticky pumpkin, a chicken or any kind of meat, biscuits or meringues. Its uses are endless.

Barbecue sheets (Per Sheet $25 plus $10 packing & postage)

As above but thicker and stronger so it can be put over the barbecue to prevent marinated meats from sticking. Not suitable for an open flame you just cut it to size and when you have cooked, dip it into a bucket of soapy water and brush all the mess away. Also wonderful to carry in the car for picnics when you may have to use a public barbecue which is usually not left clean.

Fold and Flip cutting boards (Two sheets $18 plus $10 packing & postage)

Made in the blue and yellow colours of the school, these flexible-chopping boards can be lifted easily so you can flip your chopped food into a saucepan without any fuss. There are two in each package so one can be kept for meats or food which has strong smells such as garlic; the other can be kept for cutting fruits, cakes or sweets.

Pink Salt ($5 per 100g packet plus $6 packing & postage)

We have a stock of salt from the underground saline waters of the Murray Darling Basin. Flaky and pale pink in colour this is pure and free from any contamination or chemicals. Not only does it have a wonderful fresh salty taste so you don’t need to use very much; this salt contains natural minerals of potassium and magnesium which are beneficial elements and assist in the absorption of calcium. This also makes a great inexpensive present.

Knives ($7.50 per knife, plus $6 packing and postage).

Small red serrated Swiss knives. The best tiny sharp knife we know.
