Last saturday it was the second lesson of the cooking course at Kookstudio Amsterdam and the lesson was this time chicken and other fowl. I should have waited with making the stock for the Daring Cooks challenge as I would have had plenty of bones!! But as we all know the date for the Daring Cooks was shortly before the date of our lesson so that wasn’t possible. :)

We’ve mutilated a couple of chickens and cut a quail into appropriate size portions… I am not going to be making this a very long post as I have been behind the computer too long and my right wrist is kind of bothering me, so I have to take as little computertime as I can; which is hard in my profession!! But ok, so I will let the photos speak for itself plus this little video below that I shot as well of Rob cutting the quail. It’s in Dutch but the video speaks for itself I think. Have fun and I hope I will be able to have more text next week. Fingers crossed!!

Our produce for this week

Guess who is burning stuff again??

I thoroughly enjoyed the first cooking lesson series and I think I am a bit like you – the second time around you can really appreciate what you are learning more! Loved the quail video – very informative!

This is something that I really need to learn and Rob makes it look so easy. We all need time away from the computer, I’ve been needing a lot of that lately, so don’t worry about not including too many words, your pictures always speak for themselves :)

Fabulous! I must attend a cooking course, looks like so much fun. The video is great, so informative! And the lector looks pretty casual with the quail. :)

omg that’s too much poultry for my comfort :)

btw, you need to fold your index finger over when holding a knife (the first photo)…the way you are doing it is not safe: your finger can slip and you can cut yourself.

You’re right about the knife ofcourse … :) but i was just posing For the photo, so that’s why I am holding it wrong! You know how it goes; i was taking photos then someone grabs my camera and says we need to take à photo of you too!!

Fantastic piece. Than you for sharing this. I really appreciate it as I feel I was almost there for a few moments. I will use this information – and this is what food blogging is all about – the sharing of our lessons and experiences. Of course, yours has the mastery of your amazing photography. Mine will soon – I am taking lessons. I will say it again. Thank you. Thank you for the video and the excellent information today.
