Let's Cook - A member's report.

Richard, at the start of this week’s session, provided us all with recipes for Apple Crumble and a simple Stir Fry. The Crumble was being made to a basic recipe, but he had brought with him other ingredients such as Sultanas and Cinnamon which we could add if wanted.

For the Stir Fry, we chopped and sliced Onions, Ginger and Garlic. On another board, we sliced Chicken which we were told not to wash as this could spread bacteria. We then added Soy Sauce, Sesame Oil and Sugar. 

Everything was then stir fried and Noodles were added. Chilli Sauce was handed round to add if wanted. We collected our Apple Crumbles which looked really good.

The group decided to cook Beef Curry and Chocolate Sponge the next time.

What I enjoy about these sessions is that Richard listens to other people's comments and fits his recipes around what the people's needs are.

There does appear to be a lot of washing up though! Only joking about the washing up. There is a very friendly atmosphere during the sessions.
