2nd week !!

Today we had our second cooking day. We made Sweet & Sour Quorn(vegetarian alternative)and a banana and toffee cheese cake.
 We started with the cheese cake so it had time to set(didn't work) the biscuit base went well after we doubled the quantity. We then made the cheese cake filling, which went surprisingly well apart from the toffee jar being a stupid shape so that it was impossible to get out without heating the jar until the toffee softened. We then sprinkled the bananas on top and put it in the fridge and made a start on the main.
 All went very well and smelled amazing as it cooked, just like it does when you walk into a Chinese restaurant. 
We served the meal with noodles and took pictures before eating (so check them out) It all tasted great but the cheese cake hadn't hardened that much so was quite sloppy! still tasted great, can't wait till next week!

1st week!

hiya guys its us we have just finished cooking our first meal !!!!!
the chocolate and pear tart went well as we made our own short crust pastry but it unfortunatly shrunk in the oven (the recipe lied)!!!!




We had a catastrophie! while making the cheese sauce for out cauliflower and cheese pasta bake. The plastic bowl we heated to melt the cheese in melted!!!! as we picked up our bowl of cheese the bottom fell off and onto the floor, with all the cheese. :( we had to start the cheese sauce again plus we had no more parmisane so we had exra chedder, it was tradgity!!! al turned out well in the end though, take a look at our pictures to see us with our first finished product!By the way it tasted absolutly great.
Hope you enjoyed this weeks as much as us, any thoughts on what we should cook next week??? from Zilah and Steph XXX
