Recently I had the good fortune to be called upon again by my friends at the Washington State Fruit Growers Association. The last time I saw them, I spent a fantastic day in the orchards amongst friends, and came away with 20lbs of the most succulent, swoon-inducing cherries.

I was practicing yeast roll knots when I saw his stollen. It was tremendous, rolled up like a carpet and just about as easy to move around. My classmates, engrossed in preparing for our first pastry practical exam, only noticed when I remarked (quite loudly), 'Chef! What is that?'

He smiled. 'Come see.'


20lb Cherry Challenge

20lb Cherry Challenge

It's not everyday that you get to bring home 20 pounds of peak-of-the-season fruit, but I did just that after taking the Cherry Bus to Yakima, WA recently. Naively, I'd hoped to bring home a couple pounds so that I could make cherry ice cream or brandied cherries. I didn't even consider I'd bring home as much as I did, so I had to work extra hard (and quick) so not to waste a single stone.

So what did I do with 20 pounds?
