Day 5 in Ballymaloe Cookery School

Today was the second day of cooking and I planned to make it far better than my last attempt so got up early and was in school 30mins before required. Weighed up my ingredients for my Hazelnut & Chocolate Tart. Once my teacher arrived I started my pastry, too wet unfortunately so lots of fridge time needed (yay!). Then on to my second attempt at whats called "Beginners Wholemeal Bread" funnily enough. It went fine this time so into the oven to bake.

Next was the filling for the tart which I thought I did right but it just didnt turn out like it was supposed to. Then I realise that there was too much sugar in my pastry so its gone all funny (I am such a ditz).

Finally while the tart is baking on to my Rocket, Goats cheese, fig, walnut & pomegranate seed salad with simple dressing. This was fantastic if I do say so myself.

Please see photo attached, will have to get some photography tips from Jai, its not great!

Ciao
