Week 2 Testing Recipes

Just had 2 says off from testing recipes with Anthony.  Last week was hectic as we gave ourselves a target of 8 dishes per day to cook and test.  But then what do you do with 8 x 4 portions of delicious food 4  days a week.  Anyway someone had this ‘big’  idea (that was me), to help pay for the ingredients etc that we should invite people we knew and people we didn’t to come to dine at our place.  The local council offices were targeted aswell as the girls we know from the local insurance office. We contacted the local school, although school is now out a few of the staff  came out before their well deserved Summer Holidays. I was once a teacher in the school so i know how rewarding but challenging teaching is.

Anthony spent all morning preparing the dishes, i spent most of the time typing up templates to record recipes, getting the cameras ready etc.  I much prefer cooking, but these jobs also have to be done.  We briefly anticipated what we would do if nobody turned up – but lots did.
