This session was made up of brothers and cousins and my son Leboko, who is a good friend to the boys. The age range was eight years to 20 years. This defiantly made the afternoon run smoothly as the older kids assisted with the younger ones. It was a learning curve for us at the kitchen also, when we do have requests for younger classes. It is necessary to increase the number of sous chefs for the day. The boys were all excited to be in the kitchen and couldn’t wait to get started. We sat down and went through the menus together with everyone getting a chance to read as we discussed the menu. It is very important to read a recipe in its totality when cooking. Once or twice I have been victim to skipping over steps and assuming that mixing the wet ingredients to the dry is our end goal. Only to find that I was in actual fact only supposed to have used half the flour to begin with. After finishing this very important part of the day, we went through the house rules. Wash and sanitize, keep hands and surfaces clean, social distance at all times and very importantly, safety first. When you are in the kitchen you always have to be aware of your surroundings, this is not just a tip for just the kids.
“We decided to keep the menu simple and classic at the same time with Homemade Beef Burgers, with parties spiced with Hinds The Strong One, sweet corn made extra sweet by boiling it in Delta Fresh Milk, Coleslaw and for Desert Malva Pudding with Ultra Mel Custard. Just to go back to the sweet corn, we recently discovered that boiling your sweet corn in Delta Fresh milk brings out the sweetness in the corn. In actual fact, we have set out to discover dishes which can be prepared with milk. A lot of times dishes call for yoghurt or cream when there are plenty that can be made with milk. Go on to our Facebook Page Chellzkitchen where you can appreciate some of the dishes we will be creating with milk. . Today we share with you the classic Malva Pudding Recipe as well as an account of the Kids Chellzkitchen Experiences by one of the mini Chefs for the day.
