I just did a great hands-on cooking class with my friend Hassan M'Souli as part of the Crave Sydney Festival. Hassan is a chef, owner of Out of Africa in Manly, and an award winning cookbook author.

One of the star dishes of the cooking class menu was this recipe for Moroccan Fish Tajine. I'm trying to think of how we could do this for one of our team building cooking events! What are your favourite Moroccan dishes? Maybe we can get the recipes and start planning our next Moroccan cooking class...

IMGP3419, originally uploaded by VictorsFood. Julie Goodwin (Australia MasterChef winner 2009) came into my life last Saturday to cook up a storm with some of her fans. She used VictorsFood to co-ordinate a MasterChef challenge for the group and she and I had a lot of...
VictorsFood and Stamford Plaza Airport hosted a great group of Executive PA magazine readers not long ago to showcase our hands-on team building events. Getting them all to cook was tricky at first, but they jumped right in when I told them they weren't going...
