Most wonderful Shoshona,

I have taught exactly what you are asking for several times and would be HAPPY to do it again.  Let me know when would work for you and perhaps we can do this at a local (Outlands, Caerthe or Caer Galen or thereabouts-ish) cooks guild meeting.  (Im voting for October at the earliest)  Or the next collegium, IF it has a functional kitchen, I will teach hands on 'Playing with Rumpolt' again.

In Service
