MASTERCLASS

Hello everyone,

In the past couple of weeks my family and I have been cooking dinner with Atlas Masterclass. They deliver a box of food and each night you watch a video and follow the chef on Instagram to make dinner. Each week they do a different cuisine and so far we have had Peruvian and French. It is already mostly prepared and is fun to cook and serve. My favourite dish was chicken cassoulet in French week. The food is really good and I recommend you try it. Photos are of my chicken cassoulet and a Peruvian smoked cauliflower on quinoa. Next week is Thai week - yum!
