Today our cooking group made Lord Woolton pie and Rosemary Remembrance Cake as part of our Remembrance Day theme.
We like to choose a different theme each week to keep our cooking sessions interesting and relevant. It gives us a reason to try different dishes and brings something new to the kitchen.
The theme also gives us something to discuss with participants while we cook. This week, Remembrance Day offered an opportunity to talk about remembrance and the meaning of the occasion alongside our cooking.
For me, that is a lovely part of having a weekly theme. The food gives us a starting point for a conversation, as well as something to make together.
Our finished baking included a golden pie with a decorated crust and two cakes topped with sprigs of rosemary. I wanted to share the results, along with a look at some of the ingredients we started with.
Thank you to everyone who took part in today’s cooking session. It’s lovely to share what our group has been making.
