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.

  1. 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!
