BABB's Competition Presentation and Dinner:
All members are invited to celebrate with the winners of the BABB's Competition and witness the announcement of the Champion Brewer.
 

 Hi guys. My name is Matt Lim and I am normally a Dietitian but masquerade as a cooking class instructor at a teaching kitchen in Bulimba.
This is the second time I have done a beer and food class and have fond memories of the first one as it was the only class I have taken where I was drinking before, during and after. Normally I would crack a cold one after the work had been done.
Let me tell you about the class. Firstly I have our very own Brewmaster, Ross, in to give a wee talk about beer. Thank you Ross! 
I will give a small talk on beer and food matching but mostly the class will be cooking and drinking. Please be careful as the knives are very sharp! Drunkeness and sharp knives are not the best mix I can think of.
This will be a hands on cooking class, meaning you will be cooking (and eating and drinking!!)
We will make the following dishes:
Spiced toasted nuts
Lamb and Rosemary pies
