 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...

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! [Reply]

Love the first snap of you [Reply]

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 [Reply]

With all those cooking lessons you will be a pro soon! Plus you look good in an apron… [Reply]

I love the photo of all the chicken and fowl piled up for you to start cookin’! Fantastic post! [Reply]

Looks like you are having a great time! [Reply]

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. [Reply]

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. [Reply]  Simone (junglefrog) Reply: You’re right about the knife ofcourse … [Reply]

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. [Reply]

Thanks for sharing this with us!! With all of these multiple cooking lessons you will be knowing a lot more on food, etc. Lucky us! [Reply] 
Michelle - March 20, 2010 - 01:07
That is a lot of poultry! You look like you’re having a blast! [Reply]

I love following your cooking classes – you are too funny and it so makes me wish I was taking the class alongside of you! Love the picture of you! Keep it up, girl! [Reply] 
Angela@spinachtiger - March 21, 2010 - 22:10
How fun. I have that same boning knife in the video. Now I just need to learn how to use it. [Reply] 
dharson - March 24, 2010 - 09:42
The photo of the chicken and fowl is great. I’ll look at de video later (I’m at work, sssst), I want to see the fire!! [Reply]

 Remember when we did the cooking course in Amsterdam at the Kookstudio in March of last year? That was the so called beginners course and we followed the advance course after that but when it was finished we kind of felt we wanted to do some more. The problem is that you can find loads...

Fabulous Simone – am a BIG fan of cooking classes and like you – I prefer to learn the whys and why nots rather than following a recipe. Can’t wait to see what this series of lessons brings us. [Reply] 
Peter G @ Souvlaki For The Soul - March 9, 2010 - 09:40
Good on you for giving it another go Simone…it will only just re-enforce what you have already learnt in the last year. Like Trissa, I look forward to seeing your series of lessons through. [Reply]
Ben - March 9, 2010 - 15:04
It’s been a year alread? Wow! I do remember when you talked about the first course but it seems like a couple of weeks ago. Maybe I am just in denial that time flies! Hehe. I’d like to see how that machine works, but I wouldn’t let it do all the work for me, especially if you can’t taste your creation to adjust seasoning. That is just not right! Hehe. [Reply]

I’ve haven’t taken a cooking class yet (unless you count that one time, when I was 11 years old – and I certainly didn’t develop an interest in cooking then). I agree that these classes should be about technique, and not just specific recipes. I’d like to take a sushi class. And a class that teaches you to use your knives properly (I actually know one, but it’s always full!). And also a pastry class, something that would help me with presentation… I don’t use many electric gadgets in the kitchen… For example, I always make my cookie/pie/pizza dough by hand, even if I know the Cuisinart food processor gets it done quicker. I actually have a very silly reason: I don’t like cleaning the Cuisinart! Enjoy your class! [Reply] 
Reeni - March 10, 2010 - 23:40
These are my kind of classes too! That machine is very interesting as I’ve never heard of it before. I think I like the old-fashioned approach better! [Reply]
Olga - March 11, 2010 - 02:40
I think it’s so cute that you and Tom take classes together. [Reply]
Sarka - March 12, 2010 - 03:15
Oh, this sounds very interesting. I’d love to take a cooking class. Look forward to see more of what you’ve learned [Reply]

Ha, I never heard before of someone who took the same class twice! What a great idea. And a humble one! It makes sense… [Reply] 
Kate at Serendipity - March 12, 2010 - 16:56
I’d take a class like that! I have never heard of that machine, but I can’t imagine buying it–it would take all the fun out of cooking, I’m thinking… Croquettes, though. YUM! Great photos. [Reply]

 Unfortunately today was already the very last day of our cooking course… It’s been so much fun that I don’t think anyone of us was really happy to get to the end, but all good things do – apparently – have to have an ending…. Now the intent of today was to make a three...

HOW FUN!!! It all looks seriously amazing [Reply] 
Marco - April 12, 2009 - 07:23
Hi Simone, sounds like you had a blast, and i love the guys response to your request for Pasta, this is really a guy you can learn lots from as he has this down to earth approach! Great pics as well! juggling a camera and food prep together is no joke! [Reply] Simone (junglefrog) Reply: Thanks Tom, Peter, Mara and Marco! Yes, this has really been one incredible learning experience!! Which we are for sure going to follow up with some more classes and/or a week in France! [Reply]
FoodJunkie - April 13, 2009 - 12:30
WOW, what a great array of tasty dishes! This is literally a grand finale. I wonder how you guys ate all this food! [Reply] Simone (junglefrog) Reply: Well… it was too much to eat so we didn’t eat it all I have to confess. I think we all felt bad about the waste but there was no way we could have eaten it all! [Reply]
Kate - Aapplemint - April 14, 2009 - 08:41
Seems like i’ve missed a lot, but what a feast for the eyes this is. [Reply] 
Cathérine - January 29, 2010 - 11:36
Hi, I’ve just discovered your incredible website. The food looks delicious! I shouldn’t have started looking at your pictures in the morning; now my list for the market gets bigger and bigger.. Could you tell me how the desserts in the upper right and the lower left corner are called? They look just like the right things I’d like to try (and add to my hip) Cathérine [Reply] Simone (junglefrog) Reply: Hey Catherine, I am not sure they are called anything to be honest as they sort of came together on the fly… I wouldn’t be able to tell you. Sorry! [Reply] |
