MAY CLASSES AND EVENTS

Deb Normand of Debhouse Cookies
Wednesday, May 20, 2009 @ 6:30 p.m.
$30.00


You will never need to use a boxed brownie mix again, we promise!


What makes a brownie cake-like, fudgy or chewy? Why do some brownie recipes call for two ounces of chocolate and others six ounces and some none at all? What effects can different types of sugar create on your brownies? Is there any way to remove brownies neatly from their pan? The answers to these questions could ease your brownie making and guarantee you will never want to use a box brownie mix again.


Please come and enjoy an evening of baking, talking about and, naturally, taste testing a variety of "delish" brownie recipes with us. Deb will be here to share recipes, tips and secrets she has gained from many a batch of brownies. There may even be homemade ice cream for a la mode lovers!

RACLETTE PARTY GRILL
A SWISS TRADITION

CAROLYN HATCH

WEDNESDAY, JUNE 10, 2009

6:30 P.M.

$40.00

 

Carolyn Hatch was a teacher for seven years and her husband is a professor at BGSU. They lived in Austria for a year, where they learned about raclette cooking. In the Spring, they returned to Austria where their daughter still lives. In Carolyn's opinion, "Austria is the crown jewel of Europe ." She is very enthusiastic about sharing her knowledge of raclette cooking.

 

The raclette tradition was created in Switzerland with its origin dating back hundreds of years. The word raclette comes the French and means "to scrape." A dish, by the same name, consists of a chunk of raclette cheese that is exposed to heat (traditionally an open fire) and scraped off as it melts. Electric raclette machines are now available. The melted cheese is served as a meal with boiled potatoes, dark bread and cornichons or other pickled vegetables..

 

A raclette is ideal for any occasion: a romantic evening for two, a leisurely family get together or a party snack. The food can be prepared in a variety of ways. Instead of cooking in the kitchen for your friends or family, you can be spending time together. Have Fun! Be Creative!
