So remember '
Santa's Workshop' (above)? So we went back, except this time it wasn't Christmas-themed but... INDIAN-themed (below)!
Er... This is awkward...
It's like a
'Spot The Difference' !!
COVER UP THE ANSWERS BELOW AND SEE HOW MANY YOU GET RIGHT:
- I'm browner
- I'm blonder
- I'm drinking white instead of red
- The lime apron is WAY hotter than the Lurpac apron
- A look of desperation. (I'd just eaten a chilli.)
- I have no idea what I'm doing. Oh, wait... That's the same in both.
Look – aside from us taking thorough advantage of the free wine at both events, the two experiences were actually
very different. This time, instead of a lip-smacking Christmas feast accompanied by mulled wine and mince pies, we made piping hot drool-all-over heavenly curry accompanied by lassi and onion bajis...
With garlic-butter naan (rolled into perfect 'teardrop' shape by yours truly)...
And after much much toil and strife, and sweat and tears...
We plated them together to create an Indian masterpiece...
Fit for a Buddha.
And your average pissed 20-something-year-old...
The SA Chefs Academy runs a course on the first Wednesday of every month, each with a new, exciting theme! The evening runs from 6pm to 9pm and costs R350 each (you have to go in pairs). You get starters, you cook a main (and smash it in your face) and you get dessert (below), and bottomless Hemel-en-Arde wines.
