Betty studied cuisine in New Orleans, Philadelphia and at La Varenne in Paris. Her classes range from basic Continental techniques to such entremets as Winner Soups, A Riviera Cookout and Favorites from the French Bakery. She has taken two groups of culinary acolytes on a week-long working pilgrimage to Paris. Last October Jacques Pépin, Charles de Gaulle's onetime chef, author of La Technique and glamour boy of the culinary circuit, came to La Belle Pomme to give an S.R.O. three-day course...
