Ellen's cooking school for Ben

In late August, Ellen's grandson, Ben Feinland, spent five days with us for a "cooking school" Ellen put on for him. They cooked during the day and watched PBS food programs in the evening. One day they made a meal for the homeless shelter and took it there. Another day they made a Vietnamese dish called pho - a noodle soup with shavings of beef. The finale was a "five small plates" meal - like tapas.  Ben's parents came up for the meal.
