I have learnt over the years.\u00a0 I am fortunate to have the opportunity to do that in several ways.\u00a0 My <a href=\"http:\/\/www.foodfourthought.com.au\/blog\/\">blog<\/a>\u00a0allows me to share my cooking &#8216;journey&#8217; and thoughts with you all while my <a href=\"http:\/\/www.foodfourthought.com.au\/classes.html\">classes<\/a>\u00a0permit me to pass on information in a hands-on environment.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Designing new classes is always challenging although it is\u00a0something that I enjoy immensely.\u00a0 I usually start with a general concept and a few ideas for different things that I would like to teach, then comes the research.\u00a0 When I am designing a recipe I find as many options for that particular dish, or similar dishes, as I possibly can.\u00a0 I also try to\u00a0find out the history and cultural impacts of the meal and with all that knowledge to hand I then develop what I think will work.\u00a0 The next step is the kitchen.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Testing a recipe is exciting because you&#8217;re never really sure if it will actually work.\u00a0 Most times I have an idea of what to expect and can then tweak things as I go.\u00a0 I usually need to repeat a dish to get it exactly the way I want it which means we have to taste test two delicious meals.\u00a0 It&#8217;s a hard job but both G &amp; I are committed to the process :).\u00a0<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Indian is one of my favourite cuisines because it involves the use of spices and has such exciting flavours.\u00a0 When I was designing this class I knew I wanted to teach some classic recipes that had the depth of flavour that Indian food is known for.\u00a0 I finally came up with Spiced potato cakes, Chicken skewers, Lamb rogan josh and Ground rice pudding.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><a rel=\"attachment wp-att-1330\"
