 The Garden of France Kelly Ann Hargrove 
On Thursday, October 29, twelve lovely ladies enjoyed a relaxing night of cooking, mingling, drinking wine, and learning during a Loire Valley-inspired hands-on cooking class. Chef Kathryn Gordon, instructor at The Institute of Culinary Education, has spent the last several years hosting culinary tours of the Loire Valley, visiting fleur de sel beaches and meeting with Michelin-starred chefs and master bakers, along with excited culinary students and foodies from all walks of life. It was during these voyages across the Atlantic that amazing recipes were found, such as those enjoyed on the following menu: Mushroom Hazelnut Duxelle on Toast Shrimp Mille Feuille with Coriander & Ginger [see image above] Spring Roll of Pork & Mushrooms Chicken with Cider & Leeks Asparagus with Crème Fraiche Green Salad with Walnut Dressing and Assorted Cheeses Apricot Ginger Custard Tartlettes with Streusel Pear Pate de Fruit As if that weren't enough, lovely Stephanie Teuwen donated remarkable French wines (Vouvray, Sauvignon Blanc, Cab Franc, and Sancerre), and spoke about their distinctive characteristics. Not an unkind way to spend an evening! Many thanks to Chef Kathryn Gordon, Stephanie Teuwen, and Milena Perez for creating such a beautiful evening including white tablecloths and candles.
