A favorite for Prayer Breakfast, Monkey Bread fits the bill for a small gooey bite of sweetness. Used the last of my fall pecans. So sad...

Chef Clarkson of the CCC Culinary School is the featured chef for a Chinese New Year's Dinner at Turner Street Market. I volunteered to help with food prep. We made Chinese Steamed Buns for the dinner. The dinner was sold out and was a success. A wonderful to welcome the Year of the Pig!!

1/28/19 Mary Berry's Crunchy Top Lemon Cake
1/28/19 Mary Berry's Crunchy Top Lemon Cake
Love the Great British Baking Show and several of their cookbooks have been gifted to me. The Prayer Breakfast love lemon flavor and this cake was prepared today. Care must be taken not to deviate from the recipe and add additional lemon flavor. This has resulted in a sunken middle. Still, the lemon flavor is robust!!

1/26/19 Cream of Mushroom Soup
At home, we love to try a new recipe. Using a new Taste of Home magazine recipe, I tried a Cream of Mushroom soup and it was awful! Couldn't even just stick it out and eat it. My husband John couldn't eat it. In the trash. What a waste. I thought several of the ingredients seemed unusual, but I was game on to attempt something new. This was my 2nd recipe try from this magazine and my family asked me to throw the magazine away!

| Chocolate Souffle |
The Escoffier Lunches at CCC are an adventure to experience foods from all the regions of France. The courses are prepared by the students at CCC and the breads and the desserts are prepared by my fellow students in Baking and Pastry. I am looking forward to my Capstone Class when I will be a part of the team serving the Escoffier Lunches!
