When they rise to the top (should take 20 -30 seconds) remove them with a wire mesh skimmer. Arrange the asparagus pieces in a small bowl. Squeeze fresh lemon on them if desired. Cut a fresh piece into small sections, skin on. Top the asparagus with one or more peach sections.

Icing on the Cake: Testimonials

The food was creative, delicious and healthy. We learned the correct and efficient ways to cook and prepare a variety of foods. In addition, she taught us how to maximize the nutritional value of each vegetable. Another bonus to this class is how beautifully she interjected the spiritual aspects of each ingredient. She surprised us with personal touches to make my birthday more festive.
