Hi, I am getting ready to prepare this menu, but I was confused on the steps? It says Day of:
Step: What to do:
Night
Before
Night
Before
I was not sure what the night and before meant???
Thank you!
Rachelle
It’s how we have the instructions set up. Anything that says NIGHT BEFORE it’s HIGHLY recommended you do those steps the afternoon/evening before your big cooking day. The numbered items can be done on cooking day.
In the “Night Before” steps, you say to prepare alfredo sauce while the artisan bread is baking. Which recipe uses alfredo sauce, and where is the recipe for it?
Sorry Sarah that’s an error, no alfredo this month! It’s coming for Feb.
