Both have no butter or oil.  This is a hands on class.

Chicken Curry Bread and Pizza Margarita

Sunday 5^th October 2.30 to 5.30

One of my favorite classes by far.

I had Chicken Curry Bread (not chicken curried bread) one night when my brother brought it from Port Dickson.   And at $40 a pop, I think you deserve to learn it and that too after you wait an hour in line.

That’s why you’re learning it today.  You will also learn to make my favorite kind of Pizza, so it is a class of east and west!
