cookery camp day 2

 
 
 
 


 
 
 
Today I made banana cake with toffee sauce.
For  lunch I also made Thai green curry.
To make the banana bread I had to grease a tin and put special baking paper on the tin to cover the tin.
Next I added of sugar and of butter.
We had to brake the butter into bits and mix until it is creamy.
We also had to add flour and we had to use a siv.
After that we had to fold all of it together so we don't loose any air.
Next I got to crack a egg and mix it and when I finished mixing that I poured all of it in and I mixed again.
Next in the same cup I mashed one and a half (1 & 1/2) pieces of banana and poured it all in but before we mixed it I was allowed to add blueberries so I did.
Then we mixed it.
I had to get a spachula and pour aall of the mixture into the tin and put in the oven fo 45mins.
It was so fun.
When I made Thai green curry I chopped onions, green peppers, sugar snaps, brown sugar, coriander, fish oil, paste and of course chicken.
When we put the chicken in the pan we poured the coconut milk on top of the chicken and instead of stiring the chicken we poached the chicken.
For the rice we were not aloud to boil it so a assistant had to help.
When we were putting all the food on for the rice we put it in a small cup and we put the plate on top of the cup and it was so cool.
It was amazing.

cookery camp day1




 
 
 
At cooking camp I made three different kinds of apple tarts.
One of them had apple with cinnamon and pastry on top.
The second one is the same but instead of pastry on top I added sweetened apples and the last one I put apples and sweetened apple.
13 people came.
First we had to mix butter with flour and sugar.
Then make a small in the middle.
Add one quater of a orange's juice NO PITS!!!!!!!!!!
Mix.
Add a raw egg both parts.
After that add three table spoons of water into the mixture.
If your mixture is too dry add a little bit more water but if your mixture is too wet add a little bit more flour.
Next carefully roll the mixture out evenly and place on tart tin but before you do that you must grease the tin.
If you want you could add small pieces of apple with cinnamon like I did or you could add just small pieces of apple.
You can also add sweetened apples or you can also add strips of pastry If you like you can put a top aswell.
Now only if you put pastry on top of your tart you can add brushes  of egg yolk on them.
 
 
Ingredients
 
  • 50g of butter.
  • 100g flour
  • 1 raw egg
  • 25g sugar
  • cup of water
  • 1 quarter orange
  • lots of apples
  • Tart tin
  • oven
 
I also learnt the difference between sweet and savoury.
It is sugar.
I f you want to make a sweet pastry you would add sugar but if you want to make it savoury you would add herbs and spices.
Can you guess what kind of  pastry this one is?

I went to a galla at the national aquatic centre.
We had to wake up at 5:45 and I was really tired.
Everyone had to come.

I was doing 50m freestyle and I came 3rd place..
It was really fun.
I am definitly going to the next galla.

When I went to Tesco with mummy we bought the 'make your own pizza kit.'
I made a diamond shaped pizza and then mummy spread the sauce on the pizza with a spoon and i put the cheese and olives on.
The sauce was sweet and the cheese was ssssssssoooooooo chewy!!!!!!!!!!!
It was the best pizza ever.
