Christmas Modern Classic

How well do you remember your Christmas? And how well do you remember your Christmas dinner? What's Christmas without Turkey? And most of all do you need an awesome Christmas Feast?

When my friend offered me a leisure cooking classes voucher at The French Culinary School of Asia, i was already excited to know what kinds of leisure cooking classes they have to offer. To my surprise, the website wasn't much updated with information of the leisure cooking classes they provided.

I finally decided to email them for more details and they actually provide leisure cooking classes quite often just that details are mostly updated through email subscriptions. Most participants are regulars and before i forget, each leisure cooking classes is charge RM200 per person.

California Raisin Seminar by Chef Nathan Mitchell Stamm

A while back, i was invited to California Raisin's Seminar by Chef Nathan Mitchell Stamm at the Sheraton Imperial KL. To me, this seminar was not just a sharing session but more of a professional course. Chef Nathan Mitchell Stamm from Johnson & Wales was giving detailed explanation of bread making and how raisins can be part of the staple food with nutritional benefits and wonderful flavours.

After taking about 2 days of preparations at the hotel, this was the food they provided us for a food tasting during the tea time break. Every dish had California Raisins and being a chef himself, he couldn't have made raisins ever more lovable not just by the kids but adults too.

I personally feel raisins are good snacks and obviously adding it to desserts for nutritional benefits and additional flavour from the natural sweetness is just perfect and wonderful.

Besides that, I also received a recipe book that consists of a collections of recipes by the local chefs in the industry using California Raisins. It was a great inspiration to see how raisins can also be added into hot food for cooking.
