American Culinary Federation SE 2/20/12
Today I had the chance to attend the American Culinary Federation South East Conference in Winston Salem. I was approached and given a press pass to attend what a thrill. Here's a vlog post sharing my experience and some photo's.

Did you have a chance to try one of the mozarella caprese? Those sugar sculptures looks so light, I would be afraid to breath around them. Cheeses from around the world? It's from my department: love, love, love cheese, good cheese. Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteHow fun! And with all that cheese, I'd have been in heaven... I'm not sure there would have been any samples left by the time I was through ;)
ReplyDeleteMarina oh sorry didn't get to taste those :-), only the judges did Javelin he he i know cheese is one of my weaknesses too
