RELAXATION AND SCHOOL

How your week?
Mine has been relaxing :)
My friends had a trip to romania and I stayed at school. I just did school work and slept :) ... relaxing
THURSDAY, MARCH 8, 2012.



We had a wine lesson. This one was special because it was all about sweet wines. Some people love them but others don't. 

Sauternes is a type of French sweet wine from the Sauternais region of the Graves section in Bordeaux. Sauternes is made from SémillonSauvignon Blanc, and Muscadelle grapes that have been affected by noble rot. It results in concentrated and distinctively flavored wines


Château d'Yquem is considered the best producer of sweet wines in the world. They are characterised by their complexity, concentration and sweetness. A relatively high acidity helps to balance the wine's sweetness.

We had cooking class today :)

Appetizer: Spinach flan

Entree: Marinated (soy sauce) roasted beef fillet, Duchess potatoes and peperonato (Sweet Pepper Stew).

Dessert: Tarte Tatin.








We also made a Birthday cake :) Vanilla Cake with vanilla cream and strawberries.


Then we had a practical coffee lesson. We saw the different methods of making it.




 The difference between the different 'cherries' 
and how to serve it :) We even tried Colombian Coffee.
I had table decoration, I did Floral art :)

















This is what we made in floral class, 1 is on my table and the other in the entrance hall, they are called Easter Trees. 

Easter trees are a symbol of new life, and they're linked to the nature symbolism that runs through European Easter traditions.

I was the hostess this week. This means I had to plan the conversation for the practical service exercise. 




The table was decorated for easter :)
As a continuation of yesterday's Coffee lesson, after lunch we made Jamaican Blue Mountain Coffee for those girls who wanted to try it.

Have a great week and check in next week to locate the Jamaican Gal Lost in Europe!
