1st week 105

i can't believe its been a week since i arrived in OKC. this week seem to have flown by, i guess time flies when you are having fun! and i sure had a lot of fun this week. so we made handroll and lots of other yummy stuff... i'll just post the pics and let you drool...

beet ravioli - a very easy to follow recipe and taste absolutely divine.



chanterelle lasagna, butternut squash noodles w/Marjoram

butternut squash & chanterelle is a type of mushroom as seen here ...












and after some magical work, this is what we get.... (i really need to work on my plating!)



this is by far my favourite recipe of the week.

we also made pad thai, which i didnt really like. i much prefer the authentic pad thai but that is sadly not raw. of course there are ways to improvise on the taste, maybe i should do some experiments :-)



winter salad using micro greens, shaved fennel, citrus, himalayan salt, arbequina oil (olive oil)

this i really enjoyed. i think i am going through a green phase... i seem to crave for greens!

i love the shaved fennels and the meyer lemons used in the recipe...



kale caesar salad... an all time favourite of mine. i didn't do any plating coz it ended up packed as my dinner back at the motel.



oh did i mention we had to open up a case of coconuts? my arms were really sore after that session...




so what did we do with all the coconut meat & water..... ? LOTS!!

we made ice cream, which was yummy (i forgot to take a pic of the end result!)


that's the cuisinart ice cream machine, unbelievably easy to use!













that's the tub that goes into the machine. yes i made orange chocolate mint ice cream with orange zest. yes it was very good!


ok its really late, i must sleep. early start tomorrow... i have lots more to post, will try to do it after class tmr. oh ya did i mention i went to see bon jovi in dallas over the weekend? it was fantastic.. i'll post some pics SOON! promise!
