Today was the first day that we were allowed to cook ourselves and as my teacher would put it "I came a cropper". Now im not sure what exactly this means but I gather it means I made a balls of it, or something to that effect.

Short demonstration of what we would be cooking later that morning. Introduction of teachers and tour of school kitchens etc. Embarrassing photo taken of all of us individually in our stunning chef's uniforms!

Learned how to chop veg (properly). Assisted in making bread, soup, pasta with mushroom a la creme, crumble and lemonade. All of this we then ate, yum yum!

After lunch, demonstration of tomorrow's cooking (which we get to do ourselves) - All of this we then ate, again yum yum!

I will be fat very soon.

Breakfast served - lots of yummy porridge & juice etc. Tour of the gardens & glass house, back to school because it was raining. Introduction of fellow students etc. Lunch served - again lots of yummy things incl. many different varieties of fish and desserts. 2nd attempt to get tour of gardens & glass house, success. Planted some coriander. Back to school for cookery demonstration. Just settled in to a lovely little cottage (I got my own room, yay!)

Gona go for a pint in a bit!!
