Hi Everyone! I had a very exciting day. I got the chance to spend it at the Institute of Culinary Education. The amount of happiness that a kitchen brings me, even on a beautiful NYC day is pretty humorous. Anyway, this fun day started with a meeting with the head chef. Here we went through the menu and discussed the ingredients. The menu consisted of delicious Hors d’oeuvres. After the meeting, we broke up into groups to prep and cook. Look at how pretty the Hors d’oeuvres came out! I am so proud. I will post all of the recipes sometime this weekend (My group made a few tweaks to the recipes). 🙂
Endive Leaves with Roasted Red Bell Pepper Salsa
Lemon and Ginger Seared Shrimp
Portobello Mushroom Herbed Croustade
Asparagus Wrapped in Prosciutto and Goat Cheese
No, these are not cookies! They are Pecan-Blue Cheese Crackers!
Guacamole Provencal with Crudites
Look for the recipes this weekend!
Wow everything looks so good! How was the Culinary institute?!?! How exciting! I bet it was amazing! What type of program was that?
Can I have a zucchini cake?? Yum!
HI Lori,
The Institute was really good. It was my first time, so I did not know what to expect. A lot of the people in the class have taken other classes there, and had many positive things to say. It was hands on the whole time, and then we got to eat all the food! I will definitely take more classes there in the future. 🙂 I will put up the recipes this weekend, and then you can make the zucchini cake!
