She attended the Apicius Cooking School of Lorenzo de’Medici in Florence, Italy; received a James Beard Foundation scholarship; attended various New York cooking schools; and watched her grandmother very carefully.

COOKING DEMONSTRATIONS

I am remiss in that I have not been posting half the things I do. Did you know that I have been performing regular monthly cooking demonstrations at the Nanuet Public Library - yes, in Nanuet. Last month I made some ravioli from scratch filled with butternut squash and bathed in a brown butter sage sauce. Everyone had a chance to make some and eat some.

In September I made Steamed Dumplings with a soy and sesame dipping sauce, and steamed fish with a ginger sauce. I used the three-tiered steamer to cook everything. There is a recipe elsewhere on this blog for the Dumplings, called Momos.

This month, November 16th 2009, I will be demonstrating some Appetizers. Don't know which ones yet. It is quite a challenge to do this there as there is no kitchen facility. I bring butane burners and set up some tables with cutting boards and after a few minutes everyone thinks they are in a kitchen, or so they have said.

Everyone gets a copy of the recipes. I you would like any recipes just send me a message.

I will try to remember to start posting these things again. Duh.
