Bethanie Beachside Residents Cook up a Storm with Former MKR Contestants

on Tuesday, June 9, 2015

Bethanie Beachside in Yanchep welcomed Season 3 My Kitchen Rules Contestants, Emma Donnelly and Andrew Paton, to participate in a cooking demonstration, on Saturday.

Emma and Andrew delighted the residents by making two dishes, including chicken dumplings and homemade ice cream. Maragret Ward, a Bethanie Beachside client, was the winner of the Big Bethanie Bake off, and the MKR demo part of her prize.

The couple is well known for using science techniques when cooking, which they displayed for all the residents on the day. The pair used dry ice to make their ice-cream quicker, which was a novelty enjoyed by the Bethanie onlookers.    

Throughout the demonstration the residents were asked to assist with the preparation, and enjoyed their involvement with the Chefs.

Residents were assisted with folding their dumplings and stirring the dry ice into the  ice-cream, which gave   them an opportunity to have a hands-on approach and show their own cooking expertise.    

A raffle was held and prizes awarded, sponsored kindly by Channel 7, one of the main sponsors.

The demonstration ended shortly after lunch and all residents were pleased and excited to have met the cooking couple, having learnt from the experience.
