Prize giveaway #4: Kei's Kitchen cooking class

Grab Your Fork is celebrating 1,000 posts this week and you're invited to the party! Yesterday's competition has spread like wildfire - seems like a lot of you want to win a Global knife, with 68 entries received already! The demand for the digital scales and the cupcake carrier isn't too far behind either.

Today's competition is brought to you by Kei's Kitchen, a mother and daughter team whom you may have already spotted at the Pyrmont Good Living Growers' Markets. In addition to their range of dressings, sauces and almond miso, Kei's Kitchen also run a very popular schedule of kaiseki cooking classes.

PRIZE #4: A spot in the March 14 or 15 Yoshoku Cooking Class (RRP $120)
Yoshoku refers to the style of Japanese cuisine which has its roots in Western dishes. These are not modern fusion dishes, but culinary adaptations created in the late 1800s or early 1900s. Think of the crispy golden-crumb coating of pork in tonkatsu, or the Indian and French influences on the dark sweet Japanese curry Kareiraisu. The cooking classes are hands-on and intimate, with numbers capped at eight people. You can see the photos and read about my kaiseki cooking class experience at Kei's Kitchen here.

Hi Lorraine - Oh I haven't been to Tokyo Mart in ages. I could easily spend hours in there. And thank you - you'll surely hit that mark very soon too!

Hi Debzillah - Thank you and you're most welcome. It's always heartening to hear of readers getting such pleasure from the blog. Keep them comments coming :)

Hi FFichiban - I remember the cooking was fun, but the eating was definitely the best part!

Hi Helen :)

Congratulations on reaching your 1000th post. Don't know how much work goes into 1000 posts, though if I read through ALL the entries, I'm sure I'll have a fair idea!

Anyhow, I've posted by entry to this comp. However, I have the feeling that depending on where you look on Kei's website, you may get two distinct answer for Q2. I've added both just to hedge my bets. The cooking classes look quite interesting.

Hi simonspace - I have realised the discrepancy and I will accept both answers. As for trying to read all 1,000 posts, I think it'll take you a while! Glad you're enjoying the posts so far though!
