Pastry Anyone?
This month, our group of Jr. Chef Elite members are concentrating on perfecting the art of making different types of crust and pastry...and cheese! This past Saturday they had a lesson with Pastry Chef Liliette Freeman from award winning Rick's Dessert Diner. While they've had pastry lessons before, this was time to focus on technique and to learn a few tricks from a pro. Their first menu to complete at home:
Smoked Chorizo & Cheese Empanadas
Black Eye Pea & Tomato Salsa
Mint & Apple Granita

If you'd like to prepare this meal, send us an e-mail and we'll forward the recipe: jrchef@karlaskitchentable.com. We'll post their pics and comments as they come in.
Feel free to leave your own comments. Would love to hear from you!
