Elizabeth March 14th, 2007

Yesterday I crossed something off my list of goals for 2007 - I did a cooking class with Mum. We went to Spirit House up at Yandina, which is a beautiful restaurant and cooking school in a rainforest setting. The restaurant wraps around a pond, and there are lots of paths and boardwalks through the gardens dotted with Thai statues. It’s such a pretty place.

The class was great, and we made some terrific food. There were 17 of us in the class and we were divided into smaller groups to work on individual dishes.

Here are some photos from the day. Is it just me, or could our chef double for Jennifer Aniston from some angles?

Spicy Mussel Soup

Whole Snapper

Prawn & Coconut Fritters

The class was held in a big open-windowed kitchen, with lots of breeze and atmosphere. Afterwards we sat at a long table and washed down our food with a glass of wine. It was a great day, and I really recommend these classes to anybody who can get there. It can be really hard to get a place, so don’t make it a last-minute thing!
