Palace line cook, Kat Gibbons, is back at work in the Palace Kitchen making 7 (!) Buche de Noel cakes for her family and friends. Here she is rolling up the cakes and icing them. (Her icing is delicious, by the way- I tasted a spoonful. Butter, sugar, and cocoa goodness with a hint of almond and coffee!)
After she finishes icing all 7 of these babies, she’ll start decorating them with meringue mushrooms!
RSS SubscribeWelcome to Family Meal, a blog that examines all things new and noteworthy in the world of food, wine, and dining.
At family meal, otherwise known as staff meal, there’s no hierarchy; you’re breaking bread with your friends. For those 30 minutes, everyone is equal- and hungry. Family meal is our version of the water cooler- but with better food.
I’ll be sharing my thoughts, tips, and observations, and, in the spirit of family meal, I’ve invited our creative, energetic staff- everyone from line cook to bartender to bookkeeper- to have a say. I hope you’ll add your own comments and join in the conversation.
