Japanese Cooking Group

Today we cooked Japanese and boy the lovelies cooked. I must admit that I was surplus to requirements fairly shortly in - which is actually ideal if you think about it from a 'teaching' perspective :-)

I say upfront that we had a menu that heavily featured chicken today and that was only because the lovelies are cooking red meat for every other night this week!

So the menu we planned was :

Miso Soup
Japanese-style Sesame Green Beans
Ginger Chicken
Yakisoba Chicken
Yakitori Don
Teriyaki Chicken
and ....
Sushi!

Yes Miss Kyles came in and showed us all how to make sushi (and what wonderful sushi it was). One of the lovelies did try and claim Miss Kyles' Sushi Queen crown but I made it clear that I thought the crown was undisputedly placed exactly where it should have been with Miss Kyles :-)

So with the wonderful Miss Abbey making sure the table was perfect (including candles) and being a super kitchen helper, the lovelies cooking their little hearts out, Miss Kyles wowing them with sushi and a kitchen full of laughter, fun and a willingness to learn I would have to say that today was one of the best Cooking Wednesday's ever - both in the class component and the quality of the food produced.

I am even going to post all of the recipes over at Yummy Tucker!

So thank you ladies, thank you lovelies and thank you for all of those who helped and ate and made the lunch as good as it was :-)
