Chef Michael Wingerter's King Cake

      New Orleans local celebrity Chef Michael was the proprietor of Winnie's Restaurant on fashionable Magazine St.  until Hurricane Katrina brought down the levies.   Now him and, partner David Crews own a organic vegetable and, fish farm in Deland, Florida.   They have reinvented themselves and, both men have become master farmers.  They are still learning every day.
     Chef sent me this wonderful recipe he uses for his King cake and, also above is a  picture of his finished product.  It's a masterpiece !!!
     The recipe he uses  belongs to Chef Ryan Boudreaux of New Orleans;  I hope you try it.   Take your time and, savor your time alone in the kitchen and, amaze yourself of what you can accomplish.
