Fundamental Finish

Posted on 12. Aug, 2010 by monnie in random

Except for one more dish (I have to make up a day I missed) I have finished Methods of Cookery. Woo hoo!
On Monday we are moving into the new pastry kitchen across campus, two doors down from the new restaurant. Since they closed cookery at the Adelaide City campus, there will be two restaurants running [...]

Posted on 09. Aug, 2010 by monnie in random

I’ve been so wrapped up in things lately – mid July I started my studies in Patisserie and that runs from 8am-3:30pm Monday to Friday until December. It’s quite full on, but I had a three week overlap in which I had to organise the High Tea and that all finished up yesterday!
