cooking? All lies! Cooking is pure stress! "My speech for years, pick a nice, normal cooking and doing courses at reasonable prices," says
Bushi , when I love the opening the "cooking club for Ambitious" told that I over the next three months in the VHS Barmbek participate.
In the run I had done some thinking. I'm already ready for a club of ambitious hobby chefs? I, who without a prescription can not even boil water? Meat, fish and pretty much everything else never mind. What is a keen amateur cook? So, under the kitchen battle-winner as time goes nothing that was clear to me. Well, the participation in the perfect dinner, I could still apply if necessary - if it was then, in the early phase, the participants than it was even more about cooking and not the self-promotion. Or completion of the weekly cooking classes with top chefs. Does not everything to me. Do I belong anywhere else in such a course, then? After some sleepless nights, I came to the conclusion at some point begin to have time ... So I put together all the courage and signed up. And I landed on the waiting list.
Well, should not be dependent. I look for something different ... containing
Gwexens Easter Menu precooking in Neumarkt, for example. Or one of the legendary cooking
meeting in Bad Honnef , in which one must marry at least two participants and needs a good reputation as a guarantor. And hey presto, I landed on the next two waiting lists.
Then we went blow by blow. As soon as I moved from Gwexens waiting on the list of participants, the same happened in the cooking club for Ambitious. Okay, so we cook in Franconia Saturday and Sunday in Hamburg ... With 'NEM is to create the flyer, and someone would have me shuttles to / from Munich airport ... But what if the pilots go on strike? It's snowing? Can happen quite so in March. The sun erupted? Is perhaps too risky ... so I said Gwex a heavy heart.
Well, barely back from the first cooking club meeting expected me not only taste stringy photos and enthusiastic reports from Neumarkt, but also the message that I'm in Bad Honnef with it. I will not! " Where's the booze? Alas, pilots strike in April, falling snowflakes or stars erupt! No way! Saturday and Sunday I cook in BH in HH. Basta! And Monday, I fall into a coma! In between blogging ... At both events, the way I have a lot more female ringing if my cooking skills at all ranges. But for both, I also know that jetting and post cleaner is needed. Washing and cleaning post, I can be very ambitious.
And in the next few weeks I'm busy trying to work out the various cooking together ... Let's start with today's cooking club for ambitious, led by Volker Werth at the VHS Hamburg-Barmbek. As was presented as a change of pace in our comfortable kitchen meeting, as it was, between 14.00 und 17.45 clock clock four courses prepare. So anything with a slow arrive in the kitchen and food, with the Klönschnack, the recipes Discuss ... No, here's impact went on strike. For me was initially a little confusing, but it is only logical, because the menu is different in the short term can not be won. In between, there's tricks at the right grilling in the oven, we learned potatoes are cooking, pull off a mass for the Rose to pivot pans so that women are impressed, onions and various editing techniques, the taming of the pastry bag, commercial and that chocolate with a better one of butter is melted; heard anecdotes and experiences from everyday life of an experienced Professional chef ... The rest was like at our meetings: One puzzling carelessly to himself, and suddenly it's screams from somewhere: "Dinner's ready!" Here It adds, "Where is the service? And why is all behind the pass? "
A great afternoon, the lot was too fast to. I'm looking forward to the next time and am excited about the menu. There are filet Wellington and something with beetroot, I've noticed me. Otherwise, I've already signed up for the next course in the people, for Bushi says: "Be happy that you have found a competent teacher who lies to you. The important first step is behind you, and the future be the VCR program is selected for his name ... "
I hope the poor guy gets not scared now ...
And now I book a flight for Bad Honnef ... will
No, that's not the installation, create the Pauli in the league: care and me to the shopping list
our next cooking meeting ...
But before that comes along with the photo-impressions of the first meeting of the cooking clubs for Ambitious. These are Notes on the grill right in the oven at the right potato cooking, placing the main course on the plate and endive. Later came to an artichoke.

Baked Mussels - the allergy tablet was worth it * g *
roulade of chicken breast with parsley-farce, duchess potatoes and Marsala carrots. The parsley oil stain decoration is left of me. Maybe I'm learning it in this course, times were yet to cause such a way that they were reminiscent of a car accident does not automatically ...
tiramisu with homemade Schokoladendeko, red wine and chocolate coated pears Physallis. And I am a hundred times to write on the board: remove Only the yolk-sugar mixture to the Rose to undergo then mascarpone cheese, gelatin and egg whites ... I know, but actually by
my own tiramisu recipe , even if that requires no water and gelatin ... But I had my Nick again do credit ... that's still tasty, though lacking the fluff-factor ...
The hybrid module is now wired. The photo shows the ring line, which is conducted with power cord. Since the line will be interchangeable, the cables are not screwed her from the rails directly into the terminal block, but made pluggable. 
Saturday I have formed with Styrofoam and chicken wire the ground, then with plaster bandages and brown colored glue covers the ground, then on the - was glued the moss - with lots of glue. The spruce trees and undergrowth was planted, the board on the platform was Gravel surround, and the road from the guesthouse to the bus stop, a gravel road.
