Lockdown learning and Coq au vin recipe

New Zealand School of Food & Wine

Almost 2 weeks into the Lockdown and here is what we have achieved.
With some rapid planning, we managed to transform our programme to online cooking demonstrations with the students preparing their own dishes at their homes.
Here are some of the dishes they have been preparing - Macarons with raspberry and chocolate, poached pear with creme anglaise , meringue, tuilles Amandine and Coq au Vin with mash potatoes.
Find the recipe of Coq au vin on our blog today
