SEPTEMBER 2010 WSCA Meeting

Monday, September 13, 2010

Renton Technical College

Directions

Networking, Educational Segment, Dinner

Times:

Board Meeting - 4pm-6pm
Educational Segment - 6pm-6:30pm
Veraci Pizza Dinner and Networking - 6:30pm-8:00pm

The Veraci Traveling pizza show it is fanstantic. 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 eduational 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 our website, www.kendallfarmscremefraiche.com and look especially at our CD (a PDF file) which is "Kendall Farms Creme Fraiche 101."
