Making bread & chutney

Saturday was filled with cooking with friends in Waimea. We met at Puna's for a nice breakfast followed by a bread-making session. Two ladies were interested in learning how to bake bread so I brought extra starter for them, and we prepared the bread together so they could learn.

While waiting for the bread to rise, we prepared mango chutney together -- another cooking process that takes a long time -- so we kept pleasantly busy all day long.

The bread came out great and we had an afternoon snack of fresh-baked bread together. The chutney took considerably longer so Puna finished it up herself that evening. And she baked bread herself as well; it came out "perfect" she says.

Today I picked up a pint and a half of the chutney and had a taste: it also came out "perfect".
