The long awaited update (Pictures coming soon)

It's been a while since I've blogged anything, but I did have a highlight for July, (yes, I'm several months behind), where I gave another cooking class for a blushing bride to be!

It probably was a really good gift, come to think of it - Young brides these days seldom spend too much time in the kitchen, but will probably be expected to host a dinner party or two, now that they're married. The bride loves to cook as well, so it was also a really fun time for her. Her maids all put on their aprons and whipped out their spoons to produce a spectacular meal that was easy, fresh, and absolutely delicious. It was definitely a meal that she could prepre in the future!

As we cooked, I gave demonstrations on proper sautee methods, some basic knife skills, like the chiffonade and mincing, and some other cooking techniques that were learned were the art of slow roasting salmon, dessert making, and plating 101.

Here's the menu:

Spring Pea Soup
Garnished with truffle scented scream

Wild Mushrooms on Polenta Cakes

Slow Roasted Salmon
Served with Gremolata

Panzanella , Italian Bread Salad

Olive Oil Cake
Served with Roasted Peaches and sweet crème fraiche

We lunched over the feast, and discussed flavors, favorite dishes, and also cooking and eating best practices at home.
