No Smile Cape Chef and Papa met in the kitchen.

Dear Friends:

I just spent five hours with Cape Chef!

I was invited to give a class on olive oil at the Mystic Cooking School. Part of the arrangement was that I was expected to also teach some of my great aunt Ypatia's recipes. I was terrified! I am a Home Cook, a Foodie, an Olive oil Consultant, but I am not a trained Chef! I was sharing this info with CC who offered to come to the rescue!

I have cooked these recipes a hundred times before but they never tasted as good as today! Cape Chef is a great guy and I am honored to share his friendship. Top that with being a GREAT SUPER CHEF and now I know why his family adores him!

Happy Father's Day CC! Thank you for your friendship and for allowing me to be your helper in the kitchen today!

(We took pictures too!)

PS He really wears a cape!

Hi Papa!!!

I just returned home after looking in at work after I left you in Mystic.The first thing i did was try one of the lemon stuffed Rovies olives...They are the greatest table olive I have ever eaten. I would like to say that I had a wondeful time "entertaining"the mystic community on the benefite of fine olive oil and great food.
Your aunts recipes were alot of fun for me to prepare and they are excellent dishes.

Papa has a incredible personality and is a joy to be around, It's funny how things happen in life.Papa captivated his audience for three hours with his warm stories while I diced,chopped,roasted and sauteed. I had a great time and I hope that we can again get together,but next time you wear the Apron

Oh, I would love to have been there! Oh, I would love to have tasted the food!! What an unbeatable combination of knowledge, personalities and love of all things food in the two of you. So when is the Midwest tour? This is a tag team we should all see in action (hopefully in pictures posted somewhere here, guys).

Dear Friends:

Thank you for your kind comments and sentiments!

Here is the menu:

Country Side Salad with a herbal dressing

Prawns with Feta, Tomatoes, and Greek Oregano

Greek Stuffed Roast Chicken

Garlic, Thyme, & Rosemary Pan-roasted Potatoes

Cognac-flavored Hot Fudge Sauce over ice cream

The recipes are displayed at the "Papa's Kitchen" section of my site (www.OliveTree.cc).

CC had a couple of wonderful suggestions for improving my recipes. I am going to update my recipes to reflect his suggestions this upcoming week.

It was a lot of fun!

You got a deal CC! Next time I will wear the Apron!

Dear Friends:

I forgot to mention that we told everyone in the Class the story about how Cape Chef and I met and that this was the first time that we actually met in person. Everyone loved that story and I think that we might have some new foodies-members in our Cafe soon.

Dear Kimmie:

CC wears a white cape! The symbol of every "White Knight", "Good Cowboy" or "Great Chef"!
