Cooking Up A Storm

As hard as it is to believe, I've been bitten by the cooking bug ever since I started Italian cooking lessons. Classes are pretty easy to follow and I've picked up quite a few tips and new recipes. I realised that cooking is fun! Yay! Spent 2 backbreaking hours yesterday making massive amounts fresh pasta at a girlfriend's place. There was flour everywhere after we were through. A lot of work but well worth the effort!

Stephen has been a rather good sport and have been happy to eat whatever I dish out. Some recipes turned out brilliantly while others... erm... well... flopped! Tried baking chocolat cake the other day and the cake turned out too moist and the chocolate ganache turned out... well not so ganache-y. Not exactly my finest moment. There's still half a cake left in the fridge and I don't know what to do with it. Can't even feed it to Cooper since it's full of chocolate.

Gonna try my hand at lasagne tonight. Will let you know how it goes.
