My class is hosting our second annual Dining in the Dark at the high school where I teach. I am looking for a few things. 1. Vegetarian lasagna recipe that does not have mushrooms or eggplant. It could be vegan but it must be vegetarian. 2. Dessert recipe for making cannoli without almond extract. 3. Other dessert ideas. 4. Ideas for tactile table decorations. Our first Dining in the Dark was an overwhelming success. However it was insanely hectic as the menu items required a lot of last minute work. I am hoping to lessen that aspect this year and be able to focus more time with the students on prep methods that support future food prep steps. I know sharing here is important but if you wish you may contact me off list. I will post a full menu with recipes used and general information upon the successful completion of the even to be held in mid March. Thanks so much! _______________________________________________ Cookinginthedark mailing list [email protected] http://acbradio.org/mailman/listinfo/cookinginthedark _______________________________________________ Cookinginthedark mailing list [email protected] http://acbradio.org/mailman/listinfo/cookinginthedark
