Sweet Success Blue Ribbon Style

We had our holiday party (a little late) this afternoon at the Blue Ribbon Cooking & Culinary Center. Our large group was split into four groups and each was assigned a chef. Each group was required to fix an entree, side and dessert. I was in group number one with Chef Jamil (he was from New Orleans). He split our group into sub groups that were each in charge of one aspect of the meal. My subgroup was in charge of dessert!
We made a chocolate tart topped with toasted almonds and served with strawberries and burbon kissed creme. At the conclusion of the event, not only did we all get to sample what each group had created but so did a handful of judges! My group ended up winning 2nd place (the sous chef award) for our creations!

This was a fun experience and I'd highly recommend Blue Ribbon. Their website describes all the fun event formats they specialize in - I think the Pike Place Market shopping excursion sounds like a blast!

That sounds like it was a lot of fun and maybe even a little educational.
