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. This cooking course is really casual with a big focus on fun and exploring new foods. Sesame Prawn Toast and Chicken Satay Sticks are really classic party food in England, so it was fun to make our own.

There also is a huge amount of information you need to collect from each person attending the party, along with getting them all to fill out wavers and submit them to you.

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. As they are aiming to do this each and every month, we were prepared for March. The cooking course this time had a big variety of food; stuffed buns, flower buns, corn and chicken soup, and char siu pork. Unlike the last time we attended, some of the food that was being made was demonstrated only this time, but we really did get our fill of knowledge and food.
