For the past few weeks I have been going to an Asian cookery class on a Tuesday morning at Betty’s house. Betty is a lovely local nana who on occasion drops and picks up her grandkids from school. She got chatting to some of the School Mums about her love of cooking and decided to put on a fortnightly cooking class in her house for any of the School Mums who wanted to come and learn some Asian cooking.
I always love this kind of grassroots connecting and random community stuff so decided I would go along.
This week we learnt to make some delicious and home made curry puffs which were super easy so I have shared on the blog (with Betty’s permission of course 🙂
