August’s Speaker—Leila Werner

Leila Werner, as everyone  who attends our meetings  knows, is a fabulous cook.  She is also a founding member of REHS, and was gracious enough to give a demonstration using fresh, seasonal fruits and herbs.

She began with a buttermilk  panna cotta topped with spiced mangoes. Her mango  and cantaloupe salsas went  together quickly and easily,  and provided a sweet and  spicy accompaniment to the  tasting table.

Another quick  and tasty recipe Leila provided was for mango vinaigrette, which she whipped  up in a flash and used to top  a lush salad.

Many thanks to Leila for  sharing her culinary secrets!
