Soup Swap_2/21/26

The next Foodies event is Soup Swap, to be held on Saturday, February 21 at Hazel’s home from 11:30 – 1:30. For those who’ve never attended here is the way it works:

    • Bring a big pot of soup to share -either in a crock pot or a pot for the top of the stove.
    • Bring a ladle.
    • Bring a few smallish containers so you can take a few home.

 

 

 

 

Hazel will supply the breads and desserts. This is a sit down (well, actually you’ll get up and down several times as you sample several soups) meeting so your RSVP is appreciated for planning purposes. Hazel doesn’t need to know what you are bringing, just that you are coming.  So please contact Hazel with an RSVP and with questions.

Foodies Club – Baking Babka with Caity

On Saturday, January 24, thirteen Foodies gathered at Caity’s house to learn the art of babka baking. The three-hour session was a delight from start to finish. Caity began by introducing the group to babka and sharing some of her baking secrets—demonstrating her weighing scale, proofing oven, and mixer, and explaining the importance of ingredients, measurements, and technique.

A true teaching baker, Caity had thoughtfully prepared babka at every stage of the process. She walked us through measuring and adding ingredients, mixing the dough with a hook attachment, proofing, rolling, filling with chocolate in various forms, freezing, cutting, twisting, and finally baking.

Participants also had hands-on opportunities to help make three additional babkas—chocolate, Nutella, and cinnamon. Everyone took turns rolling out dough, spreading fillings, cutting, and twisting the loaves. And then…the best part: sampling slices of two freshly baked babkas.

It was a delightful afternoon filled with learning, laughter, and plenty of delicious babka.

Next up is our Soup Swap
