A Week in My Life - Cooking Camp, Tea Event and a Dinner Party!
Last week was my first session of kid's cooking camp for this summer with a full class of twelve, two more to go. In addition to camp, I hosted and attended a tea presentation, made an appointment to speak with a potential new client, and worked a small dinner party on Friday. I had a great, busy week!
Monday - Asian Inspired, Tuesday Greek Inspired, Wednesday Italian Inspired.
Tuesday evening I attended a tea presentation at Le Cordon Bleu. Lisa Richardson gave the presentation on the history and benefits of tea with a tasting. She is an expert and you can find her at www.lisaknowstea.com. I learned a lot.
Wednesday we had a small challenge tossed to us but we handled it well. Good Day Atlanta on Fox Atlanta wanted to film live segments at The Cook's Warehouse and they wanted the kid's cooking in one of the segments. Not a problem!
Thursday the kids have a cooking competition, create their own recipes and present them to guest judges. Another challenge handled well.
And the winners are The Cuisine Queens!
Friday the kids invited guests for lunch and they cooked for about 40 people. Another challenge met with no problems.
After a great lunch Friday I went to a client's home to cook a small dinner party. The two couples decided to treat themselves while the kids were away at camp. They met at 1:00 at the pool, I served appetizers at the pool at 7:00. They came in at 8:00 for salad and dinner of Thai Coconut Curry Grouper, Cashew Rice and Roasted Asparagus. They wanted to relax before dessert of Blueberry Cobbler ready to be served with fresh whipped cream. I left at 9:00 and was ready to rest.
Saturday was a wonderful lunch with many of my chef friends. I had a great week and can't wait to see what happens next week! I love what I do and the variety I have in my work life.
