The Maleny Cooking School was visited by three vibrant, Singaporean ladies, who attended our Modern Australian cooking class and gourmet lunch. These lovely ladies knew their food, bringing a passion and gusto to the cooking studio, and dining room here in Maleny, on Queensland’s sunshine coast. One of these special Singaporean women, was Kai Tamin-Goh, a free lance journalist and she was introduced to me by this letter from Christina Leong:
“My name is Christina Leong and I’m the Marketing Communications Manager in Tourism & Events Queensland Singapore. Hope you are well.
I’m writing to you about an editorial coverage opportunity in Singapore. I have a freelance writer by the name of Ms Kai Tamin Goh who will be travelling to Sunshine Coast from 22 – 30 October to experience the highlights of this beautiful region.
One of the main stories that she will be writing is on Cooking Schools in Sunshine Coast. She would like to write about a first-hand experience and I’ve suggested Maleny Cooking School, having had a look at your class schedule and noting that you have a class on 23 Oct on Modern Australian cuisine which is perfect as we would like to highlight authentic Australian cuisine.
The story will appear in The Straits Times, Singapore largest English circulating newspaper and the highest circulated newspaper, with a readership 1.4 million daily. As well, it may appear in another smaller publication called Weekender which has a circulation of 200,000. You can have a look at the digital paper at www.straitstimes.com or http://www.weekender.com.sg/. “
Well we all had a great day, including Joanna & John, who were also attending the Modern Oz cooking class. I will let you know what we all cooked up for lunch on this special day”
Prawn & Pork Won Tons in Chinese Chicken Broth
Confit of Duck Leg
Milanese Saffron Risotto
Parsnip Puree
Ruby Grapefruit & Asparagus Salad
Dark Chocolate & Espresso Tart with Raspberry Coulis & Double Cream
These ladies had an appetite too, polishing off their plates with typical Singaporean panache and bravo. It was a fun day and it was particularly enjoyable to meet these beautiful women and to show off our quality Australian fare.
The Maleny Cooking School is available for cooking classes and gourmet lunches.
Why be just a consumer when you can create too!
