Domestic Diva in the Making

Pauline requested we do something meaningful for her hens nite. So Emma organized a cooking sesssion at Cookyn Inc. :D

Cookyn Inc's herb garden greeted us upon our arrival! :) Don't you love the greens?

It was a nite of girly talks, cooking & savouring our own creation with the help of instructor Dexter. ^.^

The dinner menu for the evening is as follow:

Chicken leg stuffed with honey feta cheese

It’s actually a simple recipe anyone can create easily at home. We felt the portion was a little huge for one. Point to note: Do not be greedy by overstuffing the chicken leg with feta cheese! ^.* 

Laksa Cashew Pesto Pasta

It’s a Singa inspired pasta. The laksa leaves smelt gorgeous, tempting us to N bowls of laksa anytime! But we ain’t eating traditional laksa. We’re having pasta. I couldn’t manage too much cos it’s a little heavy due to too much olive oil in the recipe.

Vietnamese rice roll with special peanut dip

My trick to making them pretty is to put everything in the center of the wrapper, fold the sides in, followed by the top and bottom. I folded the top and bottom into half before pulling them over to cover the fillings just so that I can see all the prawns, veg, etc on the top of the rice roll. Practice makes perfect.

Chocolate tartlets
























The tarts didn’t come out from the oven looking pretty. But the chocolate fillings, strawberries & blueberries covered all the flaws.

In the midst of our lesson, we were treated to dishes created by neighbouring classes. What a fabulous way to promote the other courses available.

The bride-to-be was given additional dessert to sweeten her celebration. :)



Dexter shared with us a number of tips to make cooking fun & efficient. I don’t take mangoes but I love the tip on getting perfect thinly sliced mangoes best!

Can a single lesson transform Pauline into a domestic diva? I doubt so. Beside learning to cook, she has to learn housekeeping too! Lin has volunteered to teach Pauline FOC. Hahhahah...Emma & Jade might already be domestic divas. They seemed to know so much from watching TV!

In any case, congratulations Pauline & we're counting down to your BIG DAY!
