As many of you know, I’m privileged to be part of the the “Mennonite Girls Can Cook “ blog.
Well… we had our very first experience of actually cooking together this evening.
We were asked by Lepp Farm Market in Abbotsford (see side bar on the MGCC blog) if we would be interested in teaching a cooking class.
We talked it over, thought it could work and arranged a date with Charlotte Lepp who then added us to the list of their very popular cooking classes.
It was a bit scary but gratifying to hear that our class sold out quickly .
So tonight Lovella, Anneliese, Julie, Kathy and I tied on our aprons and and demonstrated how to cook Borscht, Rollkuchen and Cinnamon Buns.
What fun we had – those attending the class were so supportive and encouraging and we enjoyed interacting with them as we cooked and baked.
And the food – well, it was superb! All of the recipes are on our blog and will be in the upcoming cookbook.
Here are a few pictures from our evening.

Everyone seemed to be enjoying themselves as much as we were.

Thank you Rob and Charlotte for inviting us. It was a fun experience for all of us and we’re already looking forward to the next class in April.
