Cheesy yumminess!

I am getting ready to have a girlie evening in!

On the menu are homemade nachos, tempura prawns, maple and sesame seed sausages and for dessert, citrus berry trifle, mini baileys cheesecakes and rolo tarts! Sound enough? Well no actually because I am also doing my favourite, apricot and almond camenbert. This dish is so delicious and really easy to whip up - great if you have unexpected guests. And it is IDEAL cooked in the mini white baker that is on special offer in our outlet at the moment for just £12.30!

Amazing day - all thanks to Pampered Chef

So today I spent an amazing day at The London House in Old Woking learning how to cook a gorgeous three course meal. http://www.londonhouseoldwoking.co.uk/

We then got to eat the fruits of our labour and it was all on Pampered Chef!


Here is my lovely friend Maria, dusting her ramekin with cocoa powder to make an Orange and Whiskey Souffle mousse........

...............and here is the finished article that I made and it was AMAZING!




This is the starter - a pancake filled with cream cheese and spinach. When we ate it, it was served with smoked salmon and a gorgeous beetroot vinagrette. I will definitely be making this on Christmas Day!



This is the scrummy head chef Ben who taught us lots of fantastic things!


I made this!



And this........duck stuffed with apricot and raisin stuffing and served with a fondant potato!




This is the dessert - do you think I could make a giant souffle mouse in our trifle bowl???!




Thank you Pampered Chef - I love my job!
