IMG_8494Have I already GRABBED your attention with this Three Cheese Cheese Pot exotic dessert that was recreated with #Middle Eastern Passion through Homefresh Experience Smiles? Wink

I am sure you enjoyed my previous Simply #French Homefresh Experience and were all salivating for Coq au Vin and like me via Chef Jean-Claude du Toulouse, was “inspired” with All you need is Soufflé!
IMG_7792-1024x682 IMG_8486 IMG_8314For my readers overseas and Adeladians YET to discover, Homefresh Experience is a local Norwood store selling a wide range of kitchen and homeware products that are “different, fun and unique!”

Homefresh Experience offers weekly cooking classes “with The Real South Australia feel” for kids, teens and adults run by the “very entertaining” international renowned chef Jean-Claude du Tolouse; author of Legendary Cuisine which is available worldwide through Amazon.
IMG_8441Psst….It will be our secret today; don’t tell chef Jean-Claude…okay? Wink

Chef Jean-Claude will be releasing more cookbooks including a cookbook about one of his favorite ingredients….QUINOA!!!

Homefresh Experience classes include: Flavours of Europe, Flavours of Asia, Flavours of the Garden, Flavours of France, and Flavours of The Middle East.

Adult Chef Classes are $57.00, Teenage Chef Classes are $27.00 and Junior Chef Kids (age 4 – 14) Classes are $14.00 (inclusive of ingredients on the day; $1.34 booking fee applies).
GREAT value, eh? Very Happy

Did I mention no previous skills are needed and EVERYONE takes a turn in participating throughout the night; this is a VERY interactive “hands-on” cooking class sharing #Middle Eastern Passion through Homefresh Experience Smiles!

Courtesy of HomeFresh Experience, I was VERY excited to be participating in this Flavours of the Middle East cooking class recreating exotic dishes; having fun along the way and meeting strangers who became friends at the end of the class is a bonus too!

Chef Jean-Claude took the group on a journey of the Middle East through various stories as well as emphasizing Middle Eastern dishes surround fresh produce (like the herbs and vegetables from his garden).
IMG_8421 IMG_8423  IMG_8426 Chef Jean-Claude shared on the night about how our Middle Eastern dishes would be about “The Crescent” and “The Sun.”

“What’s the crescent and the sun?”, I “hear” you ask?

I can’t give away ALL of chef Jean-Claude’s secrets on the night!Wink

I will give you a hint, the sun and the crescent do symbolically represent the world and it was also the shapes of the pumpkin and sweet potatoes that were included in the “communally enjoyed dishes.” Very Happy

It was GREAT to see #Middle Eastern Passion through Homefresh Experience Smiles while the group prepped herbs, vegetables, garnish, how chef Jean-Claude taught how to butterfly chicken breasts, how to stuff chicken breasts,  how to prepare and decorate the “delightful” dessert and how plating is important to name “only a few” things people learned on the night! Very Happy

Chef Jean-Claude demonstrated making “the proper consistency” of pesto to stuff the chicken breasts with as if the mixture was too runny, it would run (pun intended Wink) out of the chicken while baking.

The secret ingredient on the night was pistachios!
IMG_8422IMG_8460 IMG_8464There is also a “special technique” how to stuff the chicken breasts aka chef Jean-Claude’s secret hint and tip! Wink
IMG_8467 IMG_8469IMG_8470 I bet everyone who is a foodie reading this wishes they lived in Adelaide so they could sign up for a future class, eh? Wink

Chef Jean-Claude also shared how to sauté (which in French means to literally “jump” or “bounce” in the pan); once again, participation is what this class is all about!

IMG_8456Have you heard of GreenPan™ fry pans with the new patented Thermolon™ non-stick technology?

The ceramic bottom allows even cooking; GreenPan™ “processes used materials into new products such as this fry pan.”

IMG_8476While the chicken and “crescent” and “sun” vegetables were cooking,
IMG_8485chef Jean-Claude explained about pearl quinoa as he sautéed the night away! Very Happy
IMG_8491IMG_8492 IMG_8496Chef Jean-Claude then shared about the three different cheese that we were going to include in our dessert; how and where to shop for cheese for our own Homefresh kitchen experience.

Then, it was onto dessert! Wink

IMG_8427 IMG_8429IMG_8490I did mention about everyone “communally enjoying” these
Flavours of The Middle East dishes!
IMG_8504 IMG_8498 IMG_8497 IMG_8501 IMG_8500 IMG_8506 IMG_8503Not only was it genuinely GREAT to see the group’s #Middle Eastern Passion through Homefresh Experience Smiles but by dessert, strangers who now became “food friends” had a bit of Three Cheese Cheese Pot rivalry; all in good fun as to whose dessert was decorated best!
