Last night, I finished my last class of French cooking courses at Le Cordon Bleu - La Cuisine Francaise. I'd been studying French cooking as well as, of course, eating French cuisine every Tuesday night for the past while.
It was truly a fun experience and it was great to meet all the other food loving students and lovely teachers. It was pretty much my only time to chat with people in Amsterdam, and I will miss it so much... even though I did suffer from an over consumption of cholesterol and eating so much that I was almost not able to sleep after the class.
Our class started from 7pm and we finished cooking around 10:30, then usually didn't finish eating until about midnight. For the first class, I got home way passed midnight, so stuffed and overwelmed with the magic of butter and cream!
I'd like to upload some photos from the class for my own record and to share with my classmates.
