There are currently no events scheduled for this group

We are a group of enthusiastic men and women. Our group actively encourages participation from all its members. This can take many forms from demonstrations, planning an outing, skill sharing with members getting their hands dirty or organising a ‘bring a plate’ on a specific theme.

 

We meet on the third Thursday of each month in a different members’ house.

Our meetings always end with a sampling of the dishes created in a relaxed and friendly atmosphere.

The expenses are shared between the members present. If you have to cancel after the shopping has been done then you will be asked to make a contribution to that cost.

 

Topics covered have included Burmese, typical American food, goodies from Crete and West Indian dishes with Rum Punch, German, Morrocan, Icelandic, Japanese,  English pub food, American cocktails, Vegetarian, etc. We have attended local cooking schools in Girona and Palafrugell and the fish museum and cooking school in Palamos.

If you are un
able to fulfil your commitment for any reason please try to swap with someone else later in the year.

Ideas List                                                                         Back

Learning experiences:

How to choose fruit & veg – Each member advises & justifies criteria for one or two diff. fruit or veg.  Lunch out afterwards.

How to make edible gnocci

How to make gravy [a] when cooking a joint  [b] when not

How to make perfect jam or jelly

An easy and idiot proof way of making your own edible bread.

Regional or national dishes

Shared events:

Picnic [Nice spot.  Bring your own. Games or visit]

BBQ or buffet [This could be prepared privately by a member or be public and shared – e.g. by the side of lake Darnius]

Soups – Three or four members each bring a soup for everyone to try.  Plenty of bread and wine

Three one dish favourites – One member each for starter, main and pud.  [or just two courses]

Starters – Everyone brings one and we share.   Six different kinds of bread purchased or bought to accompany meal

Puds – Everyone brings one and we share.   Sweet, medium and dry white wines to accompany the food.

Thinking of others:

A meal for four for €5.00 or eight for €10.00  or 12 for €15.00

African meal – little or nothing.   Lose weight for others - profit to agreed charity.

Gourmet

Beef or pork Wellington.

Roast or casseroled pheasant

Turbot and trimmings

Other members ideas of perfection.

Bits & Pieces

Cheese and wine [Fantastic range of cheeses available to-day.   I’d be very happy to choose them if no-one else would and I’d be keen to have a hand in the choice of a wines too.   We could aim cheap, medium or dear, Spanish, French or other]

Fondu [Meat or cheese]
