MESSAGE FROM YOUR PRESIDENT
Gary Fuller, CCE CEC AAC
September 2010
Say Pizza! Yes our September meeting will be at Renton Technical College and we are going to be watching the Verica Traveling Pizza Show in action.
The Veraci Traveling pizza show is fantastic. Their wood-fired brick lined oven makes some of the BEST artisan pizza around. Should be fun, they make the pizza right in front of you and fire them up in their 1000 degree clay topped oven. See their website at www.veracipizza.com/cateringoverview.html
For our education segment we have Sadie Kendall of Kendall Farms the only creme fraiche designed for chefs. It stays thick when boiled, stabilizes emulsions (e.g., Hollandaise and Beurre blanc will not break or go grainy), and whips to a lofty, stable foam (twice the volume of ordinary whipping cream) that will not break or collapse. Because it is an emulsion, it makes aromatics blossom. These functional properties have been tested and confirmed by The CIA, Hyde Park. No other creme fraiche, especially that you make yourself, can pass these rigorous tests. Please visit their website, www.kendallfarmscremefraiche.com and look especially at our CD (a PDF file) which is "Kendall Farms Crème Fraiche 101."
