Time fries when you’re having fun, and there was lots of fun and food to be had at the last
session at the Approved Premises on Wednesday 23 May. The group finished on a
high, leaving with a fill of homemade beefburgers, Spanish tortilla, smoky
sweet potato wedges and a simple green leaf salad. They all seemed keen to
reflect over the dishes cooked over the six-week programme and were overwhelmed when they took
stock of the amount of information learnt, experiences gained and the growth in
confidence they’d got over the course period. Not only did we massage their mental culinary
skills, but Cracking Good Food also equipped them physically… a set of cooking
utensils and saucepans were given to each participant to assist them in their lives going
forward so they can go on to recreate some of the amazing dishes.
So, it was all hands to the pump, with chopping, grating,
slicing and mixing of ingredients. The aroma of the onion and potatoes frying for the tortilla
got the tastebuds going and, once the remaining ingredients of egg, garlic and
parsley were added and the tortilla started to set, the distinct sound
of tummy rumblings was heard (or was that just mine?). The group
formed the beef into personalised and memorable shapes for the burgers, choosing whether to use
the plain mix or the one with the added onion. The sweet potato wedges looked
and tasted amazing as they were sprinkled with paprika before baking. Then the
plates were finished off with salad and a lovely mix of the traditional burger
relishes. A great end to a great course. Thanks guys!
