home work

For my meal, I made for my starter french garlic bread.

How I made it. First I got a french stick of bread and cut it up into lots of pieces. Then I chopped heaps of garlic up and put the butter into the microwave for 10 seconds to soften it.  Then I stirred the garlic and butter together.  I spread it on the bread on both sides.Then i wrapped it all up in tin foil. I put it into the oven  so the butter soaked into the bread.

For the main, I used gurnard fish and home made chips and salad.  I crumbed the fish with lemon myrtle crumb mix.  I cut up 6 potatoes and baked them in a little bit of olive oil.  They came out crunchy and delicious.The salad had tomato lettuce avo grape dressing pepper onion apple.

For my dessert i made banana custard with pears and a few lollies.
How i made it. Custard powder and mixed it with soy milk and sugar and two mashed bananas and stirred it in a pot for about 5 minutes until it thickened .and stewed pears on top of the custard.

Comments from the family:
Another successful meal prepared by Daniel who remained focussed and was able to coordinate a few things cooking at once!  Dan spent two to three hours in the kitchen for each of the three meals prepared.  All food was delicious and perfectly cooked.

For my starter, I made Beef on Croutons which have avocado, tomato  and thin slices of beef and some pesto on top of grilled bread. I made the pieces of grilled bread round shaped by using a circle cutter.

The main course was chicken pieces served on salad.  I coated small chicken pieces in cornflour and paprika and fried them. They came out crunchy on the outside and soft and tender on the inside.  I made a big salad with lettuce, tomato, avocado, red onion, grated carrot, red pepper and dressing then put the cooked chicken pieces in the salad.

For dessert, I cooked vanilla cookies which is a recipe I quite often make.
  


Comments from the family:
Everyone thought the beef on croutons were really attractive and incredibly tasty.  Chicken salad was amazing, everyone wanted more.  Vanilla cookies were lovely, maybe could have been taken out of oven a little earlier.

Daniel has cooked two meals for the family on Saturday and Sunday.  He prepared all courses with the tiniest bit of help.  He remained focussed and organised.  We have been really impressed with Daniel's efforts and the outcome was fantastic.  Well done Dan!

I made a three course meal on Saturday .The menu was;

Starter  --  Garlic bread.

I crushed five garlic cloves under a big kitchen knife and chopped up parsley and butter.I softened the butter then but the garlic in. Then I spread it on to the bread and  put it into the sandwich toaster  so it could melt the butter in to the bread then I put the parsley on the top of the bread then put it into the toaster again that was how I made the garlic bread.

Main course -- Spaghetti Bolognaise

First I got the mince out and browned it in the frying pan.Then I put the crushed  garlic and onion into the frying pan with some  tomato puree and mixed it all together.

I cooked some wholemeal spaghetti and some gluten free spaghetti in salted water,in separate pans.

I then served the Bolognese with both wholemeal or gluten free spaghetti.

We had a lemon and lime fizzy drink with our meal.

Dessert -- Lemon cake.

This is the recipe for the lemon cake,which is one of my favourites.

120 grams butter, softened
1 cup flour
3 tsp baking powder
2/3 cup Chelsea White Sugar
2 large eggs
4 Tbsp milk
grated rind and juice of one lemon

Topping:
juice of 1 lemon
1/2 cup Chelsea White Sugar
few Tbsp boiling water (to dissolve sugar)

Method

Preheat oven to 180˚C.
Grease and line a square 18cm baking tin.
Put all cake ingredients together in a food processor, in order above and process for 15 seconds.
Pour mixture into tin and bake for 20-25 mins.

For topping - mix the lemon juice, sugar and boiling water together. This should be runny. Spoon topping onto cake while hot. Leave in tin before turning out when cool.

*This recipe can also be made with electric hand mixers. Place all cake ingredients in a bowl in the stated order and mix until combined.This recipe has not been tested by Chelsea sugar 

I think I put too much butter in because it was too heavy and tasted of butter but it was still nice.

Comments on the meal from the family.

The garlic bread was fantastic and scored 10 out of 10

The spaghetti bolognaise was tasty but maybe was cooked a little bit too long which made it a little dry,I could have added a bit more water or tomato puree to the frying pan. It was scored 8 out of 10 by all the family.

The lemon cake was a bit heavy and didn't rise enough and they said they could taste the butter. They scored it 7 out of 10.
