Meeting - Wednesday 2nd Mach 2011


At our March meeting we had three ladies visit as Guest Speakers.
Edwina and Val provided a cookery demonstration. Talking about how to use Quark, a very low fat soft cheese which is an ideal carrier for other flavours. They created some stunning dips and an alternative lemon cheesecake. At the end of the demonstration, members were able to taste the creations. To round off the evening, Ann told several jokes.
I have detailed the recipes below for those of you who were not there or did not manage to pick up a recipe sheet:
