I have a host who has looked through some PC recipe books from another friends of hers. I had sent her two recipes to choose from in her hostess pack but she found Cordon Bleu Melts in one of the books and wants to have it demonstrated. I don't know which book it was in and she's at work now so I can't call her. I haven't made this recipe before and don't want to go into it blind. Just wanted to look over it and make sure I have all the tools.
I don't mind her changing from one of the recipes I sent her, I just wanted to see the one she picked out before I get there. :chef:

So my question is: Does anyone have this recipe????
It might help if I had mentioned that, huh?:blushing:
 
It is in the SB Fall/Winter 2002.

Don't have it with me - it is at home. I'll try to check this thread out tonight when I get home. If no one has posted it - I'll try to type it up for you.

Thanks for the recipe! I found out from the host (finally through an email) that it's in the SB 2002 cookbook. I don't know if I have it at home or not so I wanted to try to find it asap. The recipe says the that the Canape' French Bread recipe is below. Couldn't I just use a loaf of French Bread and not have to make bread at the show?:eek:

That should be fine (that's what I would do) especially since we don't sell the bread tubes anymore. You wouldn't want to show a product that we no longer sell.
