7th October - Monday madness and SILVER LINING week- I for IRRESISTABLE is the word and food !

It is Anne's SILVER LINING week and we now have 3 letters left in the year long challenge.

I FOR IRRESISTABLE.  What can you find irresistable, def certain foods! So we have to find food and recipes for the days of the week

Well today I have started delivering a cookery course for freshers in hall of residence in Hastings Campus for Brighton Uni. There will be 12 sessions, 2 a week delivering recipes and ideas to each floor in the hall twice.

It went well apart from getting a flat tyre in the new car as I parked and having to deal with the AA and getting it repaired whilst a started the first session, anyway it went well and though the photos aren't very good (had the camera on the wrong setting !)

 Floor 1 group in their kitchen where I demonstrated, 6 grew to 11 during the 2 hrs!
They were left the food to eat for their supper


M for Minced beef Sauce that can be made into other minced beef dishes by adding different ingredients, Bolognese sauce, cottage pie, Creole hotpot, chilli etc
Forgot to take a photo of the one finished dishes until they were attacking it to eat as if they had never eaten in their life!!

  1. What a great idea- I bet a lot of them had never catered for themselves before. We tried to get Amy to try a different recipe every week to build up a repertoire- but she's not left for Uni!

  2. I agree, this is a great idea. I'm sure you will inspire them to look beyond the takeaway and save themselves money as well as eating really well.

  7. I am guessing that freshers are freshmen at the local university. What an interesting course to teach. I don't think anything like that is done here. Freshmen who can't cook survive on ramen noodles, mac n' cheese, and McDonalds. LOL!

  8. I was just going to ask how you got the gig lol, a great thing to do. I was lucky that my Mum sent me off with some basics and was patient at the end of the phone :-)
    Good luck, hope you get the iPad. Don't forget to post the recipes of the risotto ones, I only have a couple in my repertoire and always on the look out for that sort of recipe. xxx
