A
Sunday Breakfast and Brunch Feast
Every
year since starting the cookery classes I have put on a breakfast course but I
skipped it last year and a lot of you were disappointed so what I have decided
to do is to move it to a Sunday, make it a more relaxed affair, stretch it out
a bit and take in some interesting brunch dishes as well. So we will start at
10am, I will call to Wiseman's shop on my way to school and pick up a selection
of the Sunday papers, while the staff will squeeze the oranges, open the Champagne
and brew the coffee. Firstly, I will demonstrate a few quick cereal dishes,
a couple of fruit compots, something interesting to go with yoghurt and a few
scones. Around midday, you will get to sample a selection of egg dishes
- made with amazing eggs from the hens of our local cheese ladies (also amazing)
Jeffa and Giana. We will serve you some more coffee and take a few minutes
to relax and scan the papers. While all of this is happening a nice leg
of Gubbeen ham will be bubbling away on the cooker which will go very nicely with
a potato cake stuffed with some Durrus cheese and as it is March, a bowl of wilted
seabeet. We will also knock up a few interesting loaves of bread and while
they are rising I will show you a few interesting dishes with some local scallops,
along with the odd dish using some properly smoked haddock from Skibbereen.
I will show you how to make Bolos - a very special spanish treat - which we will
serve with caramelised apples. To wash this all down you must try a beer
from the Carlow brewing company or another glass of wine or some Karmine apple
juice from Clonmel.
