Chef Bambi with Mother's Night Out Special!

Tonight was a night devoted to Moms' having a great night out. This began by raising glasses of champagne to get the evening started.

Chef Bambi McGibbon from the Jaycee Center was joining us for her debut in the Quality Street kitchen.


The main course was Marinated Stuffed Chicken w/Prosciutto and Smoked Gouda Cheese w/a Garlic Reduction Sauce.

The crew is put to work prepping the chicken and making the sauce. Daniel expertly stuffs the chicken with prosciutto and Gouda.


Deanna was with us tonight to assist!
A perfect crust every time.

Lisa gets a whisking work-out stirring the patisserie cream. She may not volunteer the next time if there is a whisk involved!
Here we are melting the sugar for the candied pecans that will top the salad.

Here is the finished product and boy, were they good!

Here is the topping in action with a Pear and Stilton Cheese salad.

Just when you think it couldn't get any better, Chef Bambi topped this with her homemade raspberry vinaigrette.
Moms' Night out seems to be going well.
So does Date Night!
The studded chicken was served with Lavender Sweet Potatoes and Asparagus. We had hoped for white asparagus but it was out of season.


Dessert was a yummy Peach and Raspberry tart. Look at that presentation!

We had a wonderful evening with Chef Bambi and all of our guests and look forward to her next class the first week in June.
