I was lucky enough to be invited by my fellow "foodie" friend, Amanda to take a class at Les Madeleine's, an absolutely yummy local bakery. It's become very famous lately, as Romina Rasmussen (the owner & pastry chef) recently appeared on the Food Network show, "Road Tasted with the Neeley's." Amanda suggested we go to the class and learn a little more about the "magic" she produces and wow - it was all that and more. Especially for someone as terrified of baking as me. We now have recipes for Pumpkin Cheesecake, an Apple Tart, and a Poached Pear Napoleon -- with all the instructions about how to make them like she does. I've included several pictures to illustrate what an enjoyable afternoon it was. And, yes -- she has another class coming up in November and yes - you get to eat what you learn to make. Rock on, foodies!
The Poached Pear Napoleon
The Apple Tart - isn't it beautiful?
