Emma's turn now...29th April 2009 at The Mantle, TAFE

My course is quickly coming to an end...6 weeks to go...2 of which I have to spend in the Dining Room taking orders...serving food (normally cooked by us students)...I will be on waitering the last night of the Restaurant opening for the year...and Hospitality related businesses will be there...it will be good to be on the other end and see the Patrons...

Here we have the menu for Chef de Cuisine for the evening...Emma!!!

Another successful night at our Training Restaurant...

The young apprentices are coming up with delicious menus...I'm sure they are all going to do well as they all are in the final stages of becoming 'Chef'...

As for me...I thought I would continue to try out new recipes at home at least weekly...

I have purchased some lovely lovely inspiring cookbooks...

And I am cooking along with Vicki over in California through my other blog...Queen of the Armchair aka Dzintra Stitcheries. We are using the Donna Hay magazines and I think we are going to have a lot of fun doing this...choosing the recipes...and then blogging about it...

I look forward to the next cook-up with you Vicki...

Thanks for stopping by...and Happy Cooking, Dzintra ♥
