I feel so bad that I have not been attending Mothers Club recently…Again I missed August Mothers Club and I missed Gaita who has made it a yearly tradition to come over every August.   Thanks Gaita for sharing your recipes and sharing yourself with us.  Thanks to Mimie Huang de Ocampo for organizing Mothers Club.  And to Alexie Claparols for documenting everything. I hope to see you guys all soon

Short Courses at Enderun Extension

By | Recipes, Workshops | 4 Comments

I was able to take a peek at the new Enderun Campus at Mc Kinley Hill.  It is beautiful!

Thanks to my Assumption classmate, Tricia Castañeda Tensuan, for inviting me to join one of the culinary courses.  What an experience for me ..though I was not really prepared to do any cooking!  🙂  I am sure many cooks and foodie lovers out there will enjoy the courses here.

 

As soon as I arrived, they gave me a key to the lockers so I could put down all my things and prepare for the class

I was given an envelope with the recipes and an Enderun apron

I entered Kitchen Laboratory 1

I was late and class had started.  Wow!  This is my first time to attend a professional culinary course in a Culinary School!  I was so excited! I remember when my Mom would send me and my sister to cooking lessons with Nora Daza when we were kids.  We enjoyed it!

 The course starts with the instructor/demonstrator doing the actual recipe in front of the class

Oops!! It is Chef Thomas Wenger taking a peek at our class.  He was actually holding a class as well in the next door kitchendsc_4744.JPG

Then everyone gets to taste the finished dishes

Afterwhich, each one goes to their cooking station!  

Wow!  Each one has their own cooking station with their own complete ingredients.  This was my area…

Under each station is a chiller to store all the ingredients

Thanks to Chef See for helping me out and cooking for me 🙂

Iberian Chicken by Nimfa

By | Mother's Day, Recipes | 6 Comments

This is another friend’s version of Iberian Chicken.  My friend, Nimfa, gave the Iberian chicken to me as a gift, then I asked her for the recipe which she shared with me.  I gave it to Edna, my cook, and she made it exactly how I tasted it from Nimfa.   Ever since then, we always have it and serve it to our friends. Thanks Nimfa for sharing your recipe.  I hope you can all make it as well.  This is Heart2Heart’s Mother’s Day gift to all mothers!  🙂 HAPPY MOTHER’s DAY!
