Cooking course is back!!

Rob making mayonaisse

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 [...]

Cooking class lesson 4; sauce

Me trying to fillet a fish (sole)

I have been told many times that a good sauce is very very important in the kitchen. It brings the dish together and adds an extra dimension to it. So our lesson of yesterday was sauce…

The base of most good sauces is a good broth, which you – [...]

Cooking class; lesson 3 patisserie

Last night we had a lesson in patisserie from Carle Douglas from Douglas Delights. We had a patisserie lesson before from Rob in the first course,  but there is a big difference… Rob is passionate about cooking and everything else except patisserie I would say, while Carle is a master in making desserts and beautiful [...]

Cooking class lesson 2: crustacaens and shellfish

Produce of the day; some alive and some not…

I was a littttllle bit anxious about this lesson as, let’s face it, shells, shellfish and the like are not really (really not) my favorite kind of food. Maybe it stems from the time that I still didn’t like fish, having not grown up with the [...]

Cooking class; making pate and sausages

Homemade pate

Remember when we started our cooking course in the Kookstudio in Amsterdam, back in March? After waiting for what feels like forever, yesterday we finally started on the follow up course! Whoohoo!! It’s going to be 5 lessons of which the first one was making your own pate and sausages. Something I had [...]

Kookstudio

Chopping strawberries

I am sure we all have that one “issue” at some point in our lives… There is so much to do and just so little time!! I’ve been really busy the last couple of weeks with assignments. It’s wedding season after all, so that means a lot of work for me as well. [...]

Cooking class 6; The grand finale!

Appetizers

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 [...]

Cooking class, lesson 5; patisserie

Our ingredients for today

It’s ofcourse a little less impressive in terms of the ingredients that we used for the patisserie lesson. A pile of fish or meat looks quite different then a lot of stuff in various bags and boxes…:) Since the ingredients for any cake or dessert need to be followed much more [...]

Cooking class; lesson 4, meat and tripe

Our product for the day!

The fourth lesson of our cooking class was – I am sure – the day that some of the guys (I know at least that is true for my guy…:)) had been waiting for; the famous meat-lesson.

As usual when we came in in the morning there was already a stack [...]

Cooking class lesson 3: fish

Fresh fish

Today was lesson 3 of our cooking class and the topic was fish. I think I said it would be meat, but I was mistaken, which was very apparent by the looks of crates full of various fish species when we walked in this morning. We learned so much today that it is [...]
