Title: Chookie away on Holiday.
Post by: achookwoman on April 03, 2011, 01:58:51 am
I, with DH, will be away on hols. until late June.  Visiting,  Cape Town, Paris (cooking course with Susan Herrmann Loomis, and visiting Poilane Bakery ;D ;D ;D). Utrecht,  in the Netherlands.  On to Vienna and then a tour of Scandinavia,  and back to London.  Will try and report on anything of interest to the Forum.  Will probably also try to post on my blog. Will miss cooking,  although this time we are taking apartments in Cape Town,  Paris and Utrecht,   No Thermomix  :-)) :-)) :-)).  Keep up the good work,  to all members,  and I will have a lot of catching up when I get home.    P.S.  The family and friends are looking after the Chooks.

I'm sure you and DH will have a wonderful time Chookie, I will miss our little chats but if there is a way of communicating, I'm sure you will be in touch with us all.  If not, keep a diary of your travels and you can catch up later with all the wonderful news. The world awaits you.  Stay well  :-* :-* :-*

Hi Chookie
Say hi to Susan from me (In case she doesn't remember my name, we were the group from Zurich, and I was the person who did the organizing). We did a class with her in Paris, in Patricia Wells studio kitchen, in 2008.  I have been meaning to post her class on my blog, but it's sitting in draft form half finished, somewhere in cyberspace. I'll be interested to hear what think of it. Are you going to Normandy or taking the class in Paris? If you're in Paris, at Patrica's studio on Rue Jacob, Laudree is just down the road on the corner of  rue Bonaparte and Rue Jacob, (just in case you need a macaroon fix).

I wrote about the a cooking class we did with Samira in Paris, here lhttp://dvfood.blogspot.com/2008/05/cooking-in-paris.html (http://dvfood.blogspot.com/2008/05/cooking-in-paris.html), and I think also put in some links of places I love in Paris (eg. Buddah Barhttp://www.buddha-bar.com/ (http://www.buddha-bar.com/))
Samira is now in Evian, France and I think she's giving classes there now.


Have a super holiday! Any chance that you're passing through Switzerland?

Cheryl

Your trip sounds wonderful Chookie - I hope you are able to enjoy every single minute of it.

We'll miss you on the Forum but look forward to your return in June..... I guess it might take a few weeks for you to catch up on postings once you're back  :D :D

Shayla,  can't see why we couldn't catch up. ;D ;D  Would you also like some Jamsetta,  like Ceee ? email me on ral.bess@bigpond.com.   I will be in CT from the 10th.  April for 2 weeks.  Hope we can catch up.

chdv,  Susan is holding this class also in Patricia Wells Studio Kitchen.   I think I would LOVE to do a course with Samira.   I checked out your Blog with the wonderful photos and recipes.  I don't think i am up to this standard,  but will do my best.   Also,   would love to visit Switzerland,   maybe next time.
