By Rachael Brown
Dick Badger and Michael Luciano go back in time. Today, they are stirring up promising future plans at the Bernerhof Inn Bed and Breakfast. You could say they have histo- ry together. Luciano, a graduate of Kennett High School, went to school with Badger’s sons, his parents of Merlino’s fame were friends of the Badgers, and when Luciano owned Peaches in North Conway, 1985, Badger was the landlord. Badger bought the Bernerhof Inn at auction in 2010. Fast forward to 2012: The two are bringing back history with the opening of the A Taste of the Mountains Cooking School Courtesy Photo Rachael Brown under the direction of Chef Steffani Adaska, director of the cooking school, and Michael Luciano, res- Dick Badger places his finished sushi rolls on the platter held by Steffani Steffani Adaska.

In 1981, inn owners Ted and Sharon Wroblewski teamed up with a new young chef, Steven Raichlen, and opened the A Taste of the Mountains Cooking School. At that time, Cronin Minton was the school’s social director, Rick Spencer, Chuck Doolittle and Howard Friedland were the chefs. Kim Babineau and Katheryn Freidland were the innkeepers. The school flourished for 25 years. Steven Raichlen, who will be present for the ribbon cutting in May, wrote his first cookbook about the school: “A Taste of the Rachael Brown Rachael Brown Mountains Cooking School,” Chef, Kendra Stanley, demonstrates how to make sticky rice.
