Homemade Food…
Lately (as in, this week) I’ve been into cooking a bit more. It really is a love of mine. This is the reason why!
M&D send me to a cooking class for my birthday this year. While my actual b’day was a while ago now, I just went to the class this last weekend. It was a FANTASTIC day. LOTS of fun! The place is called “On The Ridge“, and as you can see from the picture, it’s set in the beautiful area of Kureelpa, up near Montville.
The Amazing View
One of my favourite things to do was make pasta. I’ve made pasta before, but Tonya gave us some really good tips that I didn’t know before. On Tuesday night I made some pasta dough (100g flour to 1 egg and some oil) after home group, and last night Luke and I had some pasta with the pesto I made as well (I got the recipe for that from the class).
Pasta we made drying on clothes rack!
At the cooking class we split into groups to cook the various things- there were a LOT of different dishes (we got to eat them ALL at the end!). One group made Veal ‘Olives’ with mushroom, sage and proscuitto. Isn’t it nice to cook them out on the deck?!
Is there anything much better then cooking on the deck?
I would 100% recommend going to one of Tonya’s cooking classes. It was a fantastic day filled with learning and cooking in a BEAUTIFUL location. Lots of wine and food afterwards. We ate for SEVERAL hours after we’d finished cooking!! Rachel and I think this would be great for Carmy’s hens day as well- but we’ll see what happens with that- it could be a little too expensive for everyone, but I would go back in an instant! If you love food and cooking then I would definitely recommend this cooking school!
This was an Italian day, but there are lots of others themes as well. Check out their website for more details and FREE recipes!!
My group made the pesto for the pasta. Delish!
Thanks for visiting my site again! keep checking back for more updates!

I love making homemade pasta. Easier to buy, but doesn’t at all compare to fresh. Would love to hear about your recipes. You are so inspiring me to start a personal blog, to include cooking

Yumm! I love home made pasta. We once made pink and green pasta, by adding pureed spinach to one lot, and pureed beetroot to the other. So pretty, lol. Sounds like you had a great time!
