Diary entry:
This is just to report back I survived my first night in the kitchen, got away with a parking ticket (forgot to fill in the registration number), a minor burn and a uncanny two-day feeling of fatigue.

Overall I have been told the evening was a (big) success, while I was fighting with the pie dough the visitors got entertained by Tsivi and a crew of wonderful singers who performed a whole cabaret show as I saw the next day on photographs.

Two (of the 18) lessons I have learned :
1.Don`t overbook yourself on the first night, even if you want to be nice and not turn anyone away, because you might run out of food ...
2.Don`t use too much cornflour in red berry compote as will result in an irreversible clumpy mess. I had a great time and am hoping to be doing it again in early autumn - hope to see you there
