...looks very, very promising. Megan and I are moving right along with our luncheon planning and have already inputted all ingredients and recipes for our menu into FoodPro. On Wednesday the plan is to take a tour of the Omar Coffee Company's plant in Newington, which should be both fascinating and relevant as we are working in the coffee shops on Friday. As a coffee drinker myself, though I am not "addicted" as many of my peers are, I do enjoy a good cappuccino or thai iced coffee once in a while. I am excited to learn about everything from the beans to espresso to how to properly make a drink. All I can say is that by the end of this, Starbucks better watch out!
I recently discovered the book "Best Food Writing 2008" edited by Holly Hughes. Such renowned food writers as Michael Pollan, Mark Bittman, and Alice Waters have all contributed, and include topics ranging from cloned animal meat to cultural cuisine to the 101 easiest summertime recipes. As the back cover says, "whether you're a gourmet, a gourmand, or merely a hungry grazer, you'll find plenty in these pages to pique your curiosity, provoke your opinions, and just plain tickle your taste buds." A great summer read indeed!
Now let's just hope the weather gets the memo that it's summer,
Casey
