Only two scholarships were awarded, one being to an Elba High School teacher!
Christina Whitlock, Family and Consumer Sciences teacher, won one of two scholarships to attend the Alabama Studio Style Weekend Workshop with Natalie Channin and Angie Mosier!
Secrets and Standards of Southern Food and Hospitality workshop with Angie Mosier includes a Southern food history primer and seasonal menu planning along with cooking instruction and ideas for setting a beautiful Southern table. Participants will learn techniques involved in making some of the South's iconic foods like biscuits, fried chicken and layer cakes. Mysterious recipes like pimento cheese, chow chow and pot likker will be explored and de-mystified. Setting a Southern table and serving food up family style will be the finale as the Stitch workshop participants join us and the cooks turn out a meal for everyone to enjoy together.
Angie Mosier has been baking cakes and cooking Southern food since she was a small child and continued to bake for friends and family as a hobby until she turned her talent into a full time job in 1991. Since then, her cakes and pastries have been photographed and featured in Food and Wine, Veranda, Town and Country and Elegant Bride magazines as well as many books on entertaining. These photo sessions led Angie to her current career as a food stylist for print and film. In addition to offering private and public cooking classes, Angie has also recently worked as a spokesperson for Wedgwood China, Waterford Crystal and All Clad Cookware traveling across America speaking on entertaining at home with great food and beautiful table settings. With a focus on the foodways of the American South, Angie seeks to preserve technique and flavors through her teaching, styling and also writing. Her essays on Southern food can be found in the new "Foodways" volume of "The New Encyclopedia of Southern Culture" and she writes a monthly column on cooking and entertaining for Atlanta Homes and Lifestyles Magazine. In addition to being a member of Les Dames d'Escoffier, Women Chefs and Restaurateurs, and the International Association of Culinary Professionals, she is proud to serve as the current Board Vice President of the Southern Foodways Alliance. Angie lives in Atlanta, Georgia with her talented musician husband, Johnny Mosier.
