Day 61: Mary Jo McMillin...

This Satuday was a short course run by Ohio's most renowned chef, Mary Jo McMillin. Mary came over for the week and put a great deal of effort into preparing for Saturday's demo. Mary is without doubt one of the most generous people to give her time, she helped me greatly with my sour dough and gave me some top tips.

One of the recipes we have not covered on the course is Butternut squash soup simply because it is out of season. However, Mary Jo made the most amazing Butternut squash soup so I am delighted I got to get a recipe before the course is over.



A wonderful French Apple Tart followed with a delightful base where Mary Jo demoed a very unique way of curling up the pastry.

Some other delicious dishes from the afternoon were Ginger Beef; Wine Braised Duck Legs; Crumb Coffee Cake; Coq au Vin and Pulled Braised Lamb Shoulder with Pomegranate Molasses.

I've lots of photos of the day which I must upload so check back soon.
