 In April and May we launched our exciting new cooking classes, the Cook Real Food Program in which you re-discover the pleasures of the art of cooking, to cook for flavour and taste and to re-connect with the enjoyment of the dining ‘culture’ of the table. 

The next class dates are Saturday June 29th, Saturday 10th August, Sunday 20th October and Saturday 30th November. At the usual times of 8.45am - 3.30pm.  There are places still available in these classes.

Cook with fresh, seasonal, local, 'real' food, low in carbohydrates, and with healthy fats to maximise the flavour in your food and with high satiety. It is a very healthy approach to eating.

In the program you learn how to achieve the best flavours from your cooking, how to develop your Cookery Awareness, which connects you with the cooking process and adds so much to the pleasure of cooking and dining.  We cook stocks and make some sauces, usually including a creamy olive oil mayonnaise; cook steak and other meats and fish.  As well as some wonderful vegetable dishes and a dessert or two.

The program’s core foundation is the lifestyle and food philosophy of Low Carbohydrate Healthy Fat program.  As well as learning how to cook your food this way, you learn other key elements of the program; you are provided with planning and thoughtful shopping ideas as well.  These classes are great fun, wonderful learning experiences with much camaraderie enjoyed with new found friends!

This dessert cake above and below is my Tarte de Santiago made with almonds, eggs and plant based sugar, with cream and strawberries plus edible tiny violas; all low carb.  This one is always a favourite. Plus we make these tiny chocolate cheesecakes for the chocoholics amoungst us!
