AFB Cookery Group Thursday 26th January 2023
The first cookery group meeting of 2023 took place at Christine Lowbridge’s house. Nine members attended and watched the preparation and cooking of a delicious Italian inspired dish : Spaghetti with prawns
The dish was served in a large bowl, accompanied by garlic bread and grated parmesan, with a garnish of rocket and lemon zest. It looked very colourful and summery. On tasting, the ingredients blended well and created a very flavourful meal. Wonderful to share with friends and family.
Christine had also made a delicious Lemon Cheesecake for the group to have with their teas and coffee.
Thank you Christine for a lovely afternoon
