it's challenging to pick up where we left off! we are definitely not the same, as we have seen over 200 of you, and i applaud your dedication and embracing the culinary arts over a very hot season. merci beaucoup to all of you and to my tender-eyed staff of most excellent adventurers as we look back on kid-chef season 2006. some highlights: james parker carving watermelons with meredith; frying mozzarella with renee; trevor stuffing zucchini flowers; nicole making zeppole; daniel kneading focaccia with sage; stephanie perfecting profiteroles; chef cathy getting the gist of gnocchi; chandler's handling the rosemary and goat cheese tart; jaryd's caramelizing untold lavender crθme brulιes; claire's poulet a l'orange; kristina's attention to cinnamon basil; and cary's knack for quiche. the garden, too, has been working hard. the remaining tomatoes resemble christmas lights as they burnish to red and there are a few cute-as-pie palm sized cantaloupes still milling about. add to these happy campers a plethora of new crops. kohlrabi, curly endive, cabbage, three colors of cauliflower, green leaf lettuce, rapini, arugula, red boston lettuce, chicory, and radicchio. and turnips, and beets, and sugar snap peas are headed up towards the sun. we are even thinking about adding in a bed of asparagus for spring, and rhubarb, for which there is just never enough when you crave a crumble. and oh, be on the lookout for figs. the carrboro market and trees are bursting and soon, all too soon, it will be over over, i say! enjoy them under the tree with a devoted fig connoisseur or if you can't find one, enjoy this short piece about figs with recipes (printable PDF file) i wrote for and that originally appeared in tasteful magazine some years ago. for an entire adventure with these darlings of september, we are emphatically supportive. merci beaucoup for all your participation in the past. we are replete with news and we'd love to see you soon!

coming summer 2007, we will have our first advanced teen residential program . . . in chapel hill.
our third advanced teen week at c'est si bon! is also residential! we found the day just wasn't long enough to work in EVERYTHING! stay at a local farm and embrace a variety of culinary field trips and applied kitchen work. in the evening, cooking classes at c'est si bon! menus will be market driven and developed by the teen-chefs every day, with focused guidance. at week's end, we will provide a recipe booklet with recipes developed during the week. for class information and reservations, contact dorette by e-mail or by phone at (919) 942.6550.
