I have been lazy

have had some amazing food, and have not been posting! Sorry, here are some recent highlights.

Most recently..... I went to a French cooking school for the day, or 3 hours anyway, at Caveau in Wollongong. This was a gift for my birthday from Sandrine and Christophe. Below are the 3 dishes I made!

The entre is Marinated prawns with tomato couscous. Such a complicated process, but very declicious. A lot of oil in this one - but I hope to modify it for next time I make it.



Main is roasted pumpkin and fontina tortellini with rosemary beurre noisette (made the pasta from scratch!) Making the pasta was fun, stuffing and shaping the tortellini was hard though.


...and finally mille feuille of strawberries and white chocolate mousse. I didn't use much of the mousse, but it was very yummy - again too fatty really for me, but fun to make.



Below are some mixed pics from Jordan's Seafood.

A Woolworth's Gateau



And Katie's special steamed scallops! Home made!
