Harlow Chinese School Cooking Course – Dumplings

The Harlow Chinese School Cooking Class have started back up for the year, with the first one being Dumplings! The first class of the school year was packed, with everyone creating either boiled or fried dumplings with a meat or vegetarian filling.

Harlow Chinese School Cooking Course – Sesame Prawn Toast and Satay Sticks

Dann and I absolutely have loved the last few cooking classes we attended at the Harlow Chinese School! This was the last cooking course for the school year, so we were excited to learn how to make some Sesame Prawn Toast and Satay Sticks – and there were some surprise side dishes that we got to have as well.

Harlow Chinese School Cooking Course – Buns, Soup and Pork

After discovering the Harlow Chinese School‘s cooking courses earlier this year, we were anxiously awaiting the next course to attend.

Midweek Meal Inspo; Carbonara, Stuffed Bell Peppers, Potato Chip Chicken Tenders and more

It’s summertime and we have been having fun in the kitchen. We all always are trying new food and during the summer, there is just a bit more flexibility in times as our children don’t have tons of clubs and the like to attend. This week, we had some new recipes and some old favorites that we just haven’t had for a while. Robin also helped with a beef and broccoli dish right before school ended, which came out grand, so I included that too. Let’s get into this week’s meal inspiration.
