Weekly Recipes Compliments of Your Personal Chef   May 5th, 09
 Hello,
 
I'm sure as kids we all have favorite foods that bring back memories. Things that mom or grandma made just special for you. Now it's your turn to make that special treat for your children or grandchildren. Here is a recipe from my past that I tweaked and made easier. So enjoy! Remember to check in next week when I have a great beef recipe! MMMMM....
 
 
Tapioca
 
6 oz. Dried Large Tapioca Pearls (Not instant)
1 Tbsp. Pure Vanilla Extract
1 C. Sugar
3 Eggs, Separated
4 C. Milk
 
The easiest way is to begin with soaking the pearls in cold water over night. If you don't have that much time to spare, soak the pearls in warm water for about 30-40 minutes. Once they are finished soaking, drain the pearls and set aside. In a large saucepan add 3/4 c. sugar, milk, and pearls. Place the pan on medium, bring to a boil, then reduce the mixture to a simmer for about 20-30 minutes. Or until the pearls become translucent.
 
Next quickly whisk the egg yolks and 1/4 c. sugar together. Then slowly ladle the milk mixture into the egg mixture while continuously stirring. This might take a special helper to accomplish this task. Basically what you are doing is tempering the eggs so that when you add the egg mixture into the hot milk they do not become scrambled eggs. That would be awful and you would have to start all over again. Once you have tempered the eggs with about 1/2 c. of the warm milk slowly. Slowly re-add the milk/egg mixture into the hot milk/pearl mixture. Once the egg mixture has been add allow it to simmer for another 30 seconds to 1 minute. Then remove from the heat.
 
While the mixture is simmering, beat only 2 egg whites to a lightly fluffy stiff peaks. Then once they are finished, slowly fold the egg whites into the hot mixture. Next slowly fold in the vanilla extract. Serve warm or cold, maybe with a little whipped cream for an even bigger smile! Bon Appetit!

What Is a Personal Chef?  
           
             You may find yourself wondering two things. The first would be “what is a personal chef anyways?”, the second would be “could I afford a personal chef, their only for the rich.” That’s not true. A personal chef has numerous clients to plan and cook meals for on a weekly basis, at a reasonable price. As your personal chef, we have one consultation meeting, where I meet you at your house, and we sit down and discuss what meals/recipes that you would like to have, and the estimated cost of groceries.

            Then Chef’s Delight does all the rest for you! I create your menus for the week, a personalized shopping list, shopping for the freshest ingredients. I then will prepare these gourmet meals, either in your kitchen or mine. Next I clean up the kitchen, and leave it exactly how I find it. These meals are packaged, and delivered ready-to-eat or fresh/frozen with heating instructions included. Thru the end of October 2007, all first time customers receive 25% off their first Personal Chef cooking experience!  You may even decide that  you just want to try out my service, without having to do a lot of meals. I can do a first time trial of only 2-3 meals. Or would you like to give this service to a friend, I also have gift certificates ranging in all price ranges and amounts of meals!

            I am currently teaching weekly cooking classes. Do you want to have a fun, relaxing evening, and learn how to make delicious food? I can come to your house, and teach you and a group of 2-3 of your friends, for a few hours every week. The classes are scheduled for 6 weeks, one day every week. Just think what fun it would be to learn how to make some of your favorite dishes from your favorite restaurant! I am currently enrolling students and hosts for Begginers, Advanced, and International Classes. As an added bonus to the host, if you decided to host a cooking class in your home, you pay nothing for the class. You only need to pay for your own food supplies. The class cost $200 per person for 6 weeks, up front. This includes a recipe book for the recipes that we will prepare, approximately 18 hours of class, and learning new and exciting recipes with a Certified Chef. Contact me at 740.587.7902. or my cell phone 740.403.9579 for more information, or if you have any questions.
