Apple Strudel Class

My Grandma, Mary Penin, made the most amazing apple strudel.  Making strudel is an art, and despite having the recipe, Mom and I were never able to quite replicate it.  After searching the internet, I became in contact with Paula Mavec, a 71 year old expert apple strudel maker and cooking class teacher at the Slovenian Cultural Catholic Center in Lemont.  Paula and her daughter Jana gave Mom and me a private lesson at her house on the art of strudel making.  It was a fabulous experience and the best part was that taking a bite of the strudel brought us back to some great memories of Grandma's famous dessert.
