I think it might well be the first cooking class I have done since school and I enjoyed it as I love to cook with others and I love a good roast. The rainbow cake was great too - it was a great surprise as it was fairly plain coloured on the outside.Johanna GGGhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08594201473931487490noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6742756814967464811.post-61491616970822815952014-06-24T12:08:59.774+10:002014-06-24T12:08:59.774+10:00Thanks Lorraine - he he - when I downloaded my pho...Thanks Lorraine - he he - when I downloaded my photos I couldn't resist a bit of funJohanna GGGhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08594201473931487490noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6742756814967464811.post-38001315787711010432014-06-24T12:08:06.987+10:002014-06-24T12:08:06.987+10:00Thanks House - just a little joke!!!! and yes lot...Thanks House - just a little joke!!!! and yes lots of fun and so so yummyJohanna GGGhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08594201473931487490noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6742756814967464811.post-20085691337333210782014-06-24T12:06:01.084+10:002014-06-24T12:06:01.084+10:00But of course Hannah - we were laughing about Tina...But of course Hannah - we were laughing about Tina doing the nut bush in the oven!!!!

I would have loved this, nothing like this my way. Only vegetarian food classes and I feel competent in what they wish to offer the participants to learn, I would like to learn the dishes you had here - a vegan masterclass.So fab to meet other bloggers that you respect too. I am so pleased you had a good day. And that rainbow cake looks magic, i need to make that someday for my family, their mouths would drop in amazement.
