In this week’s session, we cooked up a MASSIVE Mexican feast. The group was quite big this week, which suited the food perfectly as there were so many elements to the meal.  Some people were in charge of chopping and cooking up the chicken and peppers for the fajita mix, others were responsible for making

There was a scurry to clean up as our time in the resource centre was quite short, but everyone agreed that we had had a great night.  People who weren’t cooks at home had tried something new, and the activity bonded new group members with those who had been attending for some months.  Its safe to say we will be having another cookery event soon (and some sporty activities surrounding it to compensate..!)  There are a lot of photos of the food in this post, we are essentially just gloating at how yummy it was.
