Chookies Bread cooking class, with photo.
« on: November 17, 2010, 07:20:23 am »
Yesterday,  6 TMX owners came to my home for a 'lesson' on how to use the TMX to make bread.  They were eager to learn and a particularly nice group of people.  All were having difficulties in creating a satisfactory result.  We made white rolls, various shapes ;D with added seeds,  bread sticks, Rustic Loaf which I started the day before and Farfallina's Hazlenut Loaf.   They enjoyed making the rolls best. They worked in pairs which they enjoyed.  I printed off all the recipes for the bread and the biscuits for morning tea and the lunch.   I would encourage any other members who have a particular skill with the TMX to consider helping other who are not using there TMX enough. Can you see 3 TMX in the Photo?  I know you are going to ask,  that is me in the red top on the right.

Good on you Chookie, it's great to share your knowledge and I can imagine the fun you all had there yesterday.   Did DH manage to get a word in  :D :D   Thanks for posting the photo.

Judy,  DH took the photo and made the coffee in his special machine.  He hid in the study the rest of the time with the 1 male 'student' paying visits.  He said later that he could tell that everyone was enjoying the activity by the amount of talking and laughter.
I think we will have a few more Forum members as a result of the session.  2 have been lurking and knew the names of many of the Forum members.

How wonderful Chookie.  I'm sure your students will be very inspired with their breadmaking.  Next time you are over in Tassie you are very welcome to come and do a lesson at my house. ;) ;D

Chookie, that is a lovely way to share your extensive knowlege.  I certainly love learning by 'watching and doing' rather than just reading instructions.

That is a great idea focussing on one special food like that for a 'power' session, like a masterclass! I wouldn't mind going to one of those for cocktails :)

That was a great thing to do Chookie. Those on this forum know what a font of knowledge you are when it comes to bread so I can imagine the amount of information you students took away. Lucky them. When are you taking your classes "on the road".

I wish I had been one of those lucky girls in your bread class Chookie, I would have loved it. ;D You are so kind to share your skills with everyone and I think we are all privileged to know you, even though for most of us it's through a computer.  :D :D

Cookie, How wonderful of you to open your home up to help people master to bread making art.  Wish I lived closer as these get togethers are what a lot of people are looking for.  It gives confidence to new owners and broadens the knowledge of others.  Good on you!!!

It was such good fun,  I will attend any that some of you specialist cooks would like to hold.  MMMM Cocktails sounds good with Judy's suggestion of sleep over.   The group that attended expressed interest in,  Jams and Chutneys,  Pastry,  Main Meals, Cakes  and Slices,  infact anything that they could use the TMX for.  I think 'hands on 'is better than just looking.
