SC - Yikes! I'm teaching a class!

[LYN M PARKINSON]

Bonne,


As a way of encouraging the guy teens to cook, you can relate one of
these stories:  I taught both my boys to cook, very early.  Hugh built on
what I'd taught him, became a restaurant cook, then chef at an officers'
club, and put himself through college and graduate school with that
skill.  He now makes megabucks as a computer genius, but cooks at home
because his wife doesn't.  Nevins never cooked professionally, but in
college found a room-mate who so like his cooking that said room-mate was
willing to do all the dishes.  The two of them would go stand outside the
college cafeteria on Saturday nights and ask pretty girls whether they'd
rather eat 'mystery meat' in the caf, or come home with them for duck a
l'orange, chocolate amaretto mousse, etc.  Never had a week-end without a
date.


Here's a recipe from An Ordinance of Pottage that they might like.


Floreye

A rose-decked version of Chicken pudding.  Use rose or deep pink rose
petals, choosing ones which are just beginning to wilt and cutting off
their white bases.

Chicken Pate with roses

petals of 4 medium-sized roses		1 1/2 cups chicken broth or
water
2 oz. (1/2 cup) blanched almonds, slivered	1 teaspoon sugar
3 cups cooked chicken breast, chopped	1/2 teaspoon salt, or to
taste

Reserve some of the inner, less wilted petals.  Put the rest in a blender
or processor with the almonds and process them; then add the chicken meat
and seasonings and process again.
	Put this mixture in a saucepan and stir into it the broth or
water, previously brought to a boil.  Leave to steep for 10 minutes, then
bring to a boil, stirring, and continue to stir over a low heat for no
more than 5 minutes.
	The dish can be served hot, mounded on a serving dish.  Or it can
be packed into a bowl and chilled, then unmoulded before serving.  
Either way, garnish at the last moment with the reserved rose petals.



This should be simple enough for beginners, and as a cold dish, work for
an after meeting pot-luck.



Regards,

Allison
