Extremely happy when i receive call from LiteFM that i was being selected for one of their participants in 'Make A Wish' event in the month of April. I just submit my wish to try my luck and my slogan sounds like this' I wish to learn to cook Italian food from a professional chef as have zero knowledge. This is my birthday month as well and i want to surprise my husband with my culinary skills and to cook a wonderful meal for my family'..

Overjoyed and Aly from LiteFM called me up for recording and surprisingly we have a good chat and actually the whole conversation went on very well and they actually did not edit much and i am not nervous at all answering her questions. I am grateful to have my colleague who was inside the car on her way home who helps me to record it down and i was sitting at the monorail station and getting ready to listen it on air. They actually aired every single words i said and i really enjoy the laugh and looking forward for my assigned chef.

The cooking lesson is arranged and LiteFM have chosen La Risata @ Medan Damansara. Here we can find hearty Italian dining experience and the word La Risata actually means' The laughter'. No wonder when they introduce me to Chef Andrea, he already have the smiley and laughter characteristic..Haha...Nice day ahead with him guiding me from learnt how to chop, sautee, and prepare the appetizer meal consisting of antipasti (raw vegetables with anchovy cream dip), spaghetti alla puttanesca and pan-grilled salmon fillet with a pesto sauce served with a vegetable caponata. I enjoy the whole process and Chef Andrea have taught me a lot with the tips of 5 sautee elements which i can use it in my cooking.

The first impression counts..wearing a proper attire in a right way.Now i know how to put on the small towel.

I need to peel of those garlic each and every pieces of it?

Learning skills on the chopping vegetables with the same length and size. The way of holding the knife is also very important

Our first appetizer is finally done. Beautifully plated with colourful vegetables. Appetizing..

The garlic cream taste really good

I guess i need to do more revision on this basic ingredients in preparing Italian food

My pasta is ready..Delicate and Yummylicious!!

Now i know how to twist the pasta to look great on the presentation side.

Sinfully delicious desserts prepared by the chef..melts into my mouth..i love all those desserts. Chocolate volcano which is my favourite. Rich and creamy..simply irresistible!
