Fiona's Kitchen (Tea!) Rules

Hi folks,
I thought I'd share with you a few photos of my friends Fi's Kitchen Tea- particularly because I'm a little bit proud of it! It was something that myself and the other Bridesmaids put allot of thought into- and it was really fun. It's the kind of thing that could work for a social event at church or with friends.
We decided that given Australia's current obsession with Cooking shows we would have a Master Chef themed Kitchen Tea.
We called it "Fiona's Kitchen (Tea!) Rules"- complete with a little FKR logo on the invites and on posters on the walls. Fi didn't know details of what was going to happen. We got everyone to dress up in aprons.

Everyone also bought along a receipy to put into Fi's special FKR book



We dressed Fiona up in her very own "Princess Fiona" apron- complete with a crown




First challenge was the mystery box! Fi (along with two hand picked helpers) had to make something out of the ingredience we gave her. People could watch and chat.







Fi and her helpers had 15 minutes to either plate up (ideally) or at least have her dish in the oven.

These are Fi's beautiful Pear pancakes with cinnamon flavoured cream cheese icing with pear garnish :)


We got some guests (including Fi's Mum and Mother-in-Law to be!) who gave some Master chef-eques special comments and scores.


Then it was on to the Taste Test! My Mum had prepared an amazing slow cooked lamb stew made of 14 ingredients.




Guests got to taste and look at the stew and decide what they thought was in it.


Final activity: We all got a chance to decorate some cupcakes with various goodies we provided.
And Fi got to judge the most beautiful creation



Me and My sister



All in all, it was a fun but exhausting morning!


love B
