Hi everyone, as mentioned in my previous post, I lost my voice early this week and unfortunately I still can't speak without breaking into a ridiculous cough, as I found out today working at my market stall. Can I suggest we reschedule our Open Kitchen Hour 1 Zoom cook-along from Friday (ie. tomorrow) to Monday evening my (Sydney) time at 7pm instead? I'm going to assume I'll be okay by Sunday morning for Open Kitchen Hour 2, so no change there. This means this week's sessions will look like this - Open Kitchen Hour 1 - Sydney, Australia Mon, 3 Nov 2025 at 7:00 pm AEDT London, United Kingdom Mon, 3 Nov 2025 at 8:00 am GMT Vancouver, Canada Mon, 3 Nov 2025 at 1:00 am PDT Open Kitchen Hour 2 - Sydney, Australia Sun, 2 Nov 2025 at 7:00 am AEDT London, United Kingdom Sat, 1 Nov 2025 at 8:00 pm GMT Vancouver, Canada Sat, 1 Nov 2025 at 1:00 pm PDT Tagging the usual attendees and the new members just in case you miss this, and sorry for this late change - @Annie Thomson @Cathy Raff @Jenny Wijesinghe @Carol Kuok @Christine Loh @Swee Low

Hi all, today's a public holiday in Australia and Noah is home with us so I've not managed to get the transcripts and course notes uploaded yet from our two Open Kitchen Hour sessions, but I will do so by tomorrow. Apart from the shortened work week, Noah also has a cardiology appointment at Westmead Hospital this Wednesday which will take up most of our day, PLUS Paul is no longer able to edit our Malaysian Hawker Pro videos due to his schedule, so it'll take me a bit more time to do them myself. With all these factors combined AND with my observations from our Popiah cook-alongs over the last couple of days, I'd like to focus on additional instructions on nailing the popiah skin this coming week. This means that instead of a new dish, this week's Masterclass slot will cover the topic of popiah skin that will hopefully help make it less steep of a learning curve. I will aim to shoot more video footage and either upload them to the Popiah Masterclass course area, or if you'd like to hop on Zoom during our usual fortnightly lecture slot I'd be happy to present it Live then as well.
