Harlow Chinese School Cooking Course – Wonton Soup with Noodles

We have actually previously done a wonton course at the Harlow Chinese School, previously creating both fried and soup wontons. Even though we had previously attended, we were both excited to come back! The meat in the middle of these wontons were different and so was the broth, so it sounded like a good time to us. The Harlow Chinese School is running their cooking club every other month this year and we are aiming to attend all of them!

Christmas Characters Cupcake Class with Sweet Designs by Jennie

Amelia and I are always looking forward to the cupcake decorating classes by Sweet Designs by Jennie. This Christmas Character Cupcake Class is our final class of the year, but we got to see a sneak peak at one of the new classes coming in January, and we are really excited to get to decorating! The Christmas Character Cupcake Class was one of four winter / Christmas themed classes that Jennie was running. As always, the cupcakes were pre-baked, the fondant was already colored, and we all sat down to enjoy a few hours of creating decorations.

An Evening Out at Enlightened Hylands Estate

There are a ton of light trails in Essex and we were looking to hit quite a few! After going to Enlightened Colchester last year, we wanted to bounce back to the Enlightened closest to us; Hylands Estate, which we had not visited since 2021. Enlightened Hylands Estate is one of the Enlightened Trails in and around Essex, of which there are quite a few! These trails, we find, are ideal for children as there are tons of interactive moments and lots of good places to take pictures.

An Explore at Markshall Estate Enlightened Light Trail

[Ad- gifted experience] Being December it’s the season for lots of things, but one thing that we always try to get along to during these colder Winter nights is light trails. Over the last few years we’ve visited loads and loads around the UK (and beyond) and that’s included a couple from events organiser Enlightened Moments. When we found out they were running another one, and not too far from us, we had to go, and so off we went to their newest installation at Markshall Estate, near Coggeshall in Essex.

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. Dann and I went with the meat filling, which had meat in it, along with a specific flavoring packet that is sort of like a seasoned soy sauce, but less liquid.
