Sophies Muffin

Sophie made her muffins today. She added cocoa, red colouring and white chocolate. Today we worked well but I burnt myself badly and it really hurt. I had a lot of fun though!

Muffin Making

We tried a recipe for our muffins. It was good because I got to know how much time management and what ingredients will be nessecary. Sophie and I worked well and we felt we will be great when we do our assignments.

Today was the second practical lesson of this term. We were to decide on our big recipe for the assignment. I have come up with a great idea that will be delicious. However I am disappointed that we can't use icing on our muffins. I am very exited for next week!

Tacos

We made tacos last week and they were delicious! We prepared the meat which was probably the most complicated recipe yet. Here was the recipe:

Mexican beef tacos

Serves: 2

Ingredients

•

6 taco shells

•

2 teaspoons olive oil

•

250g lean beef mince

•

¼ tsp chilli powder

•

½ tsp garlic

•

1/3 cup tomato paste

•

1 tsp soy sauce

•

½ cup water

•

½ onion chopped

They were very delicious. We worked well together although Sophie was undecided on how the water was added but in the end the meat was very nice. This was a great meal to make. 

Quiches

Today we made quiches. They were the nicest food I had ever tasted. I worked we'll with Sophie today. Our chopping up was fast and efficient. We used the right amount of ingredients as well. The puff pastry was sticky and too thawed. Though I mad a design that acted as a barrier that made them delicious. We used these ingredients:

2 sheets puff pastry- thawed

2 spring onions-chopped

2 slices ham- sliced thinly into strips

½ cup grated cheese

2 eggs

½ cup cream or milk

1 tablespoon parmesan cheese

Chewy Chocolate Slice!

We made chewy chocolate slice which was so delicious! We made these chocolatey crumbly slice that set in the fridge over night. The ingredients were as followed:

125 gm melted butter

1 cup (220gm) brown sugar

1 egg

1 tsp vanilla

½ cup (75gm) plain flour

¼ cup (35 gm) SR flour

2 tbl cocoa powder

½ cup (40gm) desiccated coconut

1 tbl shredded coconut

Pikelets!

Pikelts were our next cooking endeavour. This was the day when we didn't work well together at all. We weren't great at cleaning and left it all until the end so we were a bit late. Although somehow my likeliest were delicious and perfect! I might even try this recipe at home one day! 

Bruschetta!

We made bruschetta in hospitality today! It was yummy!  Sophie and I worked well with the cutting up. What we didn't do so well was cut the bread. We added lots of salt and pepper and that made it so nice! I really loved this lesson
