A Slow Food Sunday

Making mozzarella

Today some members of Slow Food Waitakere group meet for a mozzarella making workshop at the Gourmet Gannet. If you like to see more photos please click here, and if you like to read Allison's mozzarella recipe you can find it by clicking here. Thank you Allison for hosting the event and sharing your recipe :-).

Conviviality

After making mozzarella we all went for lunch at the Tasting Shed on State Highway 16, it was a lovely day out, the sun was almost warm, and the Tasting Shed was a good discovery. 

All serious about our food!

Slow Food Waitakere Croissant Class

On Sunday a small group of members from Slow Food Waitakere learned to make croissants from Allison of Gourmet Gannet.

After a demo we are all ready for hands-on!

It was a great class for everyone. We baked some croissants (plain and chocolate) on the spot, and we took some more home to freeze or bake. I baked some as soon as I got home, and they came out lovely (pics below). Thank you Allie for a lovely morning!
