Food tasting the most favorite part.

The cooking session with fellow bloggers was a huge success.

This is Ms. Gay Carillo a blogger/Ph.D./author of http://asciencetistinthekitchen.net who teached and shared to us the recipe. She stayed for a month in Thailand and took some cooking lesson there.

First day in Culinary Class

Today is the first day of my culinary class. It was 26 of us. We have little discussions and election of officers. It was so funny because the noisiest in the class was being elected as officer. I was also being elected *toinks* Frankly speaking, I don't want to be an officer I prefer to be a member. It doesn't mean I don't want obligations. I am just happy and content being a member.

Our teacher introduce us the utensils that we are going to use, criteria and practicum. I'm excited for our practicum because I really have passion in cooking and I want to learn a lot. We were divided into 2 groups and assigned each member what to bring. Our teacher gave us a recipe what to be cook on next session. We list the ingredients, estimate the price and divide the amount. I will attach here next time of our finish product and the recipe. And try it to your home. =)
