cooking class

i went for a cooking class at Shermaý's yesterday. it was by chef oscar from buko nero (havent been there? must go!)

anyway it was pretty pricey, maybe more than what a 2-course meal without wine would cost. but it was fun, a good experience, altho will have to think twice about taking another one!

his menu:
cherry tomato and pink ginger soup
pumpkin gnocchi with vegetable ragu
mixed berries with sabayon gratin

they were relatively doable at home and all tasted really yummy. i quite liked the ginger and tomato combination - very heartwarming, and perfect for a rainy day. the gnocchi was not too bad but i have never been that fond of gnocchi, potato or otherwise. the sauce was quite good - with zuchini, pumpkin and spinach.
the dessert was great - a slightly sweet thick cream like topping that was blowtorched to give it a nice caramlised slightly crunchy top. and with a combi of raspberries, blueberries and strawberries, you cant go wrong.
