its money as a cracker's best friend when Bremner Biscuit Company of Denver asked
them to develop signature recipes using the Bremner line of premium crackers. On

panel of four judges including Teresa Farney of the Colorado Springs Gazette, Kate
Bailey of Mountain Living Magazine, Suzie Roser of Tony's Meats and Bremner Biscuit
Company's own Chelle Mollohan. The recipes were judged on taste, presentation and
creativity. From Caraway Stuffed Mushrooms and Roasted Chicken with Morel Stuffing
to Gorgonzola Cream Cheese with Raspberry Sauce, the versatility of Bremner Wafers
was artfully and deliciously showcased.
Cook Street student Cathy Bacon was awarded grand prize for her Salmon Mousse En Crust,
a light and airy mousse in a flaky Bremner Sesame Wafer crust, served with English
cucumber slices on Bremner Sesame Wafers. "The sesame cracker is just the right
consistency to create the crust," said Bacon. "And the hint of sesame is the perfect
complement to the salmon."
The judges also selected one winning recipe for each of the four wafer varieties
in the competition. Bacon's recipe for Stuffed Baby Zucchini (hollowed zucchini stuffed
with peppers, mushrooms, onions, Bremner Caraway Wafers and Gruyere cheese)
was awarded first prize among the Caraway submissions. Classmate Terri Fennell was awarded
