February Meeting a Sweet Event

The February meeting of the CCFCC Winnipeg Branch was An Evening of Chocolate provided by Chefs Helmut Mathae and Don Pattie. The chefs brought almost a century of culinary experience to the group and touched on a number of areas of chocolate art and production. Chef Helmut shared his current work in progress and explained some of the intricacies of chocolate sculpture and provided insight into some of the techniques he has gained from his years on the world stage. Chef Don took us into the modern products and equipment that today’s chocolatier can use to prepare confections to perfection. The chefs provided recipes and ideas for members old and new. Our meeting sponsor was Gordon Food Services who provided a selection of sweets and  beverages to compliment the educational session.

Thanks to host Chef Paul Lemire, John G. Stewart School and the River East Transcona School Division for the use of facility and the wonderful evening.
