Apple Strudel. A thing of beauty. Sweet apples encased in a thin, flaky dough. Delicious.
We began our lesson by reading through the recipe and preparing the apples.
Next, we mixed together two kinds of dough: a quick version and a more traditional version made with yeast. Meanwhile we cooked the apple filling.

I am at a loss for words to describe these delicious creations, so I’ll let the photos do (most of) the talking.
Grandma’s homemade bread. Light, flavorful, delicious.
I love Grandma’s flour/baking drawer.
And her cupboards.

This cake is my favorite. The batter is not too sweet, the custard filling is so rich, and the whipped cream frosting is perfect.
Here’s a tip from Grandma: soak your poppy seeds in milk overnight.

Grandma decided it was time to move from scrumptious sweets to serving an entire meal; and there is no meal so traditional and tasty as a Roast Beef Dinner…
Grandma knows all the secrets to making a tender, tasty roast: sprinkle liberally with salt, pepper, and garlic powder. Attack it with a sharp fork & sprinkle with Meat Tenderizer. Coat it with flour and cook in a skillet to brown on all sides.

Chocolate & Pudding. HOW could you go wrong with such a combination?
Alright, I’ll admit it. When I attempted to make these chocolate crepes a month or so ago, they were a complete and utter failure. I must have let the batter sit too long - the crepes were very weak. This was a much-needed cooking lesson.
