Christine Manfield Cooking Class

Written by Amanda on November 27th, 2007 — 10 Comments

One of Australia’s most celebrated chefs – most known for her amazing desserts and Asian inspired cooking, held a class at the Sydney Seafood School last week which I was very excited about. After an hour long demonstration on how to prepare each dish, we separated into groups of 5 to try and recreate everything she had taught us. She created 4 dishes which are designed to be paired with champagne. Perfect for summertime and the holiday season.

The Menu included:

Kingfish and Avruga Cocktail – sesame soy marinade

Palm Sugar Mulloway & Green Mango Salad

Lobster Coconut Pancakes (tasted just like the spanner crab version at Universal!)

Summer Shellfish Salad – blue swimmer crab, squid, scallops, mussels, rocket, basil cress, cherry tomatoes

And finishing everything off with a bottle of Heidsieck Champagne – Gold.

The whole process took well over 4 hours. I really miss my giant kitchen back in Darlinghurst! I have all the recipes, but I won’t type them out here. Click here if you want to download a PDF of my recipe sheet! (it even has notes on it)
