This entry is a bit overdue, but I was busy being a bridesmaid over in New Jersey and on top of that, I recently sprained my arm and it’s in a sling. So I’m typing this entry very slowly with my left hand. This unfortunately means I won’t be able to have my cooking class this month (September), but that just means I’ll be more pumped for October!
Joe forgot to take pictures of the food, but I taught the attentive class how to make French-influenced ravioli, crepes and beef bourguignon. I think the meal was a success esp. because one student even re-created a few of the recipes at home and sent me pictures-which will be featured in my next entry.
i’m gonna stop typing for now b/c this is more exhausting than I thought with only one hand. But enjoy the pictures! Bon Appetit!
peace out for now,
julie
Some very generous praises from the class:
“Very informative! Simply amazing! Everything was so delicious!” -Anonymous
“This was a really fantastic class- and a great bargain for 2 people for the class & dinner. It was a great deal. Julie was very personable, fun to watch and listen to, and very knowledgeable about food! The environment that was set up also was really cozy and friendly- and just like bunch of friends gathered together- even though we didn’t know each other. Also, of course- the food was amazing. I was so impressed with everything- my favorite was the beef stew. Yum. Thanks for accepting us even on such late notice.” -Grace Y.
