Week 2, Friday in Ballymaloe Cookery School

On my menu today was:

Fillet & skin a round fish
Panettone & Pear Bread & Butter Pudding
Make marmalade (was soaking over night)
Tomato & Chilli Fondue with Spaghetti
Soak Haricot Beans (for Monday)

First I turned on the marmalade.

Then on to the custard for the pudding & poured over panettone & pears & left to soak up the yumminess.

Then on to the filleting of the fish. We had to watch our teacher do it first & then fillet the fish between 2 of us, which we had to in front of our teacher to make sure we were doing it right. This took ages and delayed everything.

I popped my little bread & butter puddings in the oven to bake.

Then realised it was really late & had to make a mad rush at my fondue, suddenly my onions & chillis were burnt & it was too late to start again. My teacher reassured me that it was grand & not to worry etc. (I like her!)

So finished off the marmalade, cleaned down & plated up.

It probably seems like I did nothing all morning but I swear it takes a lot more time to do things in a kitchen full of students all looking for their teachers attention!
