I was very happy to be involved and sponsor and judge the novelty cake entries at the PA Hospital biggest morning tea. What great entries, including an amazing 3D building cake of PA hospital and some saucy cupcake with various staff members. I donated a shoe and shoe box cake that was then auctioned for much needing funds.
Assisting the now very famous Dominique Rizzo, I first met Dominique 3 years ago as we are both involved in The Learn cook and Dine programme at Kitchenware-plus, she was not at the superstar status she is now! and watch out for her first new book later on in the year. I cannot wait a genuine book of receipes she creates, written by a genuine hands- on passionate foodie.
We had a a great time together with the task of judging and tasting the huge array of cakes pastries and slices! Sometimes my life is so harsh!!!!!
The amount of yummy chocolate delights was all too much! beautiful biscuits, slices cakes, cupcakes, even fudge and brownies were all tasted and judged and then tasted some more! They were then sold and the mornings events raised much needed funds to the ongoing cancer research.Thank you for all those that supported this morning.
The last few weeks have flown by, busy with classes, cakes and cake demonstrations at 2 more of my local librarys and I was met with a warm welcome, thank you.Both dates were fully booked out and its amazing how many other interesting topics the librays have going on so check out their websites for more details.
I still get a little nervous at the beginning and then after a few minutes of speaking ,I crack my classic joke " as you can tell from my accent I am not from around here.......I am from Daisy Hill " and that will normally break the ice! (English humour!!! cannot get away from it!) The event at Springwood library even got a mention in my local paper and its only taken me 6 years!
I often get asked do I miss chefing and the answer is yes. After watching Masterchef the other evening, I am now going to say no! They were creating canapes for a cruise ship moored in Sydney harbour.This reminded me of when I was head chef at a restaurant in Thornlands a couple of years ago.
We secured the contract to cater for the Redland Bay Film festival awards and I had to cater for 290 guests and staff.
The amount of planning and preparation that took in creating all that food! With 3 chefs assisting me and my fantastic apprentice Tiegan, who now works at Sirromet, pulled out all the stops and we worked like a well oiled machine thankfully with no misfires!
The venue was a Stradbrooke car ferry that was converted into a floating red carpeted restaurant .We had a portable kitchen installed with ovens that kept stopping and starting throughout the service! We actually sailed out into the bay for the duration of the evening and so everything had to be onboard, now that took some planning ! and as you might know by watching the Masterchef show, time is always against you. Anyway the night was a blast we had all been working 12+ hours and endorphines kicked in and everything went perfect .
I really felt for the contestants of the Masterchef show as that particuliar challenge was a really hard
challenge!Well done.
Now we are into the cold season remember kindness is contagious , so pass it on.
