    Mango Lassi

    You'll want to make a lot of this. I triple the recipe, and we always go through it. It's perfect with spicy Indian food because the yogurt helps mitigate the spice if it gets to be too much.

    Ingredients

    1 c. yogurt, plain

    1/2 c. milk

    1 1/3 c. mango, chopped (or canned or frozen)

    cardamom, fresh ground if possible

    sugar or honey to taste (optional)

    Directions: Throw everything but the cardamom in the blender and blend until smooth. Top with cardamom before serving. You can also garnish with fresh mint leaves.

Chef Channon is Coming to Culpeper!

For those not on The Frenchman’s email list, below are the details of Chef Channon Mondoux’s book signing & food demonstrations this Sunday.

Channon is the owner of Renaissance Cuisine, which I franchise from. She’s the Chef who trained me, a finalist on The Food Network, and she’s a good friend. She’s also something of a force of nature. Come see us (I’ll be doing some light grunt work to help her out) on Sunday, March 8th.

From The Frenchman’s Corner:

Join Chef Channon Mondoux, author of “Celebration at the Sarayi” in a tasting of her recipes and cookbook signing.  Mondoux’s modern reinventions of traditional Ottoman (Turkish) dishes will include a live cooking demonstration from her book.

The event- to be held at The Frenchman’s Corner, this Sunday, March 8, 2009 from 1pm – 4pm – will feature two of her celebrated Turkish recipes, Muhallebi  (Sweet Creamed Rice Custard) and Qatlama Boregi (Savory Layered Bread).

A copy of “Celebration at the Sarayi” will be available for purchase at a special price during the tasting and signing event.  Book purchases made during the event will include a bonus recipe card, signed by the author as well as a spice mix sample pack.

  1. When will you be serving these at Culpeper Chamber of Commerce Events????

  2. Um….when am I serving what at Chamber events? I am not sure what this comment is in reply to, since the post it’s responding to was talking about a guest Chef and her book.

    If the Chamber is interested in having me present food at an event, give me a call and we can talk about menus, rates, and availability!
