This week we made cheese and onion double baked potato's and a strawberry tart.
We did this after school so when we got home the potato's were already being baked. We made the pastry for the tart first and then steph carried on with the tart custard mixture while Zilah scooped out the potato, made the cheese and onion mixture and mixed it all up before re-baking the cases and filling them with the yummy mixture. Steph meanwhile steph made an orange zest egg custard that looked like puke, but tasted amazing and when it got mixed with the cream turned nice looking. We then baked the pasty a ate the potato's with baked beans and sausages. Then we put the tart together, added and glazed the strawberry's and ate it. It was amazing and everyone else loved it too!

This week we went on Zilah's dads boat for cooking so we had to make something quite simple (its not easy to cook on a boat!). We made a vegetable stir fry and chocolate bananas.So we sailed down the river to this Beach place called 'the rocks' (but we renamed it 'the crocs')and cooked the stir fry in the hob inside the boat. It was very easy, just cutting up the vegetables and putting them in a wok with the noodles, ready made sauce, beans and bean sprouts. As we ate it started raining so we couldn't go to the beach and make a fire to cook the bananas so we made them on the boat to. Just cutting a slit in the banana (still in its skin) and stuffing it with lumps of chocolate before wrapping it in tin foil. They tasted amazing, so gooey and chocolaty and yummy! We had a fun day and even went swimming (for a few seconds before we realised how cold it was!).

this week we made potato, cheese and onion mini pies with a chocolate sticky toffee pudding for desert.
we started by making the pastry which went well as we have made it quite a few times now, then we moved onto the cheese potato and onion filling which was also simple but tasted great, it could have been used on its own as a potato salad if we wanted to !!
after the pastry had been rested we tried to roll it out with much difficulty as it was extremely crumbly once we had struggled the pastry into the moulds we filled them up and put them into the oven.
We then moved onto the chocolate sticky toffee pudding which we thought would be delicious, we followed the instructions exactly but it turned out to be disgusting we don't know how ! the toffee sauce was however delicious!
