This was truly incredible. The prize was an all-inclusive trip for two, at the Food & Wine Classic in Aspen. I had never been to Aspen before. The only word I can think of to describe it, is “Picturesque”. The weather was perfect. The Classic was held ON our 10-year anniversary. It was so special to both of us to have some alone time! My husband used to sell wine and that is how he paid his way through college. So this was a gift of a lifetime to share with him. Our suite was rustic yet elegant. The food and drink at the Classic were outstanding, but we also visited a few great restaurants. I met the Muir Glen representatives, and also the editor of Food & Wine Magazine. Oh and did I mention Tom Colicchio and Iron Chef Morimoto?
I enjoyed an incredible trip for a weekend class at The French Pastry School in Chicago. I learned how to make croissants! I love Plugra European Butter.
I took this recipe during my audition for Master Chef, where I was selected in the top 40 for my region. I did not get selected for the show, but the experience was unforgettable.
