Busy October -- Breads, Pasta, sauces and The Good Shepherd

Some months simply fly by and blogging just doesn't get done. Sorry everyone ... we have been busy!

We have spent time at The Good Shepherd Mission again ... at our October date we served just about 600 people in the 2 and a bit hours the serving line was open. Went by without a glitch of any sort. Well done, everyone!

We are busy setting up our own actual restaurant in the school ... The Acorn! We now welcome our staff every fortnight for full lunch service in a sit-down restaurant, and deliver as well to those too occupied to be able to join us. Here is Kenzie delivering a colourful lunch to one of our VPs.

Chef Elliott Kuttas
came for a visit and got everyone turning apples to make Tarte Tatin, and roasting vegetables.
Knife skills were really featured and some delicious food was made. Thanks, Chef!

And to wind things up, we have invited any members of our school staff who want to learn how to make excellent bread to join us in our November Friday 6 AM Bread Clinics. We will feature making and baking Focaccia, UBC Cinnamon Buns, Challah and either Rye bread (Pumpernickel), Baguette or Ciabatta (students' choice rules). Makes for long mornings, but the results are simply delicious.

Here, in small photos, is the evolution of Challah, as an example. Matthew helped make these with Chef just a couple of days ago. On Friday we will enjoy French Toast made with the last of the loaves. Two have gone to our wonderful community volunteer, Ruby Trostin.

Here's to Fall, everyone!
