I've had the best day!

Today I had a cooking class with Vicki at The Sweet Greek in Oakleigh.
It was fantastic.We made Pork Fricase, Greek Lemon Chicken, Beef & Onion Braise, Greek Mousaka and Pastitsio. The beautiful smells that eminated from the pots on the stove and the melt in your mouth food was amazing. I've never cooked Greek food and after today I am definitely going to host a Greek Dinner Party. Nothing fussy just down to earth, hearty Greek cooking. I'm also looking forward to adding these dishes to my repertoire of favourite family meals.

Vicki also stocks some excellent products, some of which she sources from Greece. She also has cookbooks and I couldn't leave without buying "Vefa's Kitchen" which, Vicki says, is Greeces Martha Stewart. (I think I remember that correctly ;-). It's a beautiful book with a similiar style as a Stephanie Alexander Cooks Companion but with more pictures. What's a cookbook without lots of pictures!
Vicki also runs food tours which include Oakleigh Market and surrounding shops. I've been on lots of food tours around Melbourne and this tour will be the next one on my list.

All this talk of food is making me hungry.

Till next time.

Opa!
