Cooking in the Spice Garden

I had a great day yesterday, cooking in the Spice Garden. Nazlina has a calm, friendly approach:It's more like working with a friend and she ensured that everyone was included.

It was interesting using the traditional methods and realising the muscle power that was required. I think when I re-create her ideas in the kitchen environment I may be tempted to use the available electrical equipment.

We were all extremely satisfied with the end product. I think I can confidently say that the Beef Rendang, spiced rice and salad could have easily graced the table of a top restaurant.

We all enjoyed the meal that we had prepared and left with many happy memories of an enjoyable morning.

It was great fun and I look forward to repeating it in the not too distant future. I highly recommend this cooking experience.
