The making of a Kitchen Vixen

Some people eat to live, but I've never been one of those people. I live to eat. I love good food and I love sharing it with friends and family. My obssession with cooking was started at a young age when I was always adding my own flavour to my mother's recipes. While she often shooed me out of the kitchen, I was smitten with the idea of creating new taste sensations-- an adventure that hasn't ended yet.

School... sweet, sweet school.

Back-to-school for me this year means "Culinary Desserts," yet another course I'm taking in my efforts to earn my chef training certificate at George Brown College.

I've sacrificed all my Friday nights this fall, right until December, so I can slave over hot ovens concocting  nectarine cornmeal cakea variety of sweet treats that I will get to bring home to Hubby.

What kind of sweet treats? I'm not sure. I haven't seen the course cookbook yet. But I am anxious to don my chef whites again. It seems like once I'm in my uniform, surrounded by the stainless-steel clad enclosure that is our classroom, all my worries get whisked away--yes, I know I said "whisked" ;).

Stay tuned, I'll be taking my camera along for the ride. Hopefully we'll all get to learn something new.

In the meantime, what's everybody baking out there? I've got a basket of peaches that are calling my name, and I hear that nectarines have hit the shelves. Try out this recipe for size.
