Savour the Art of Food's Special Christmas Cooking Event

I know lots of people have been following my company blog, and I truly appreciate it.
I have to apologize to everyone for letting so much time go by without a post. Moving, building and moving again, just took up a lot of time.
But I am so happy to be back at it again. I've missed posting.

So as a thank you to all of those who continue to follow my blog I am putting together a
SPECIAL CHRISTMAS COOKING EVENT :)

I am in the final stages of putting together the details, and will have a huge post with all the details.
Where, When, What and Who

So stay tuned and check back often.
You won't want to miss this one!

Until we cook again:)

Thanks for a GREAT cooking class...

I love what I do!!!

A big shout out to Adoption by Choice!

What an awesome group!

We had such laughs, and of course soooo much food...

Thanks for coming out and taking this Tapas Cooking Class :)

The class had barely started and they were already posing for pictures. Lol's

As you can tell...they enjoyed their Artichokes :)

Ohhhhh, and the laughs

As soon as they walked through the doors, the jokes started.

We can't forget about the nicknames, right

"Princess"...hahaha

I know it's looking like we really don't learn much in my cooking classes,

but I promise, along with the joking, nicknaming, laughing and much eating,

there is a lot of hands on cooking and learning to be had

Yummy Asparagus Wraps

The recipe will be at the end of this post

Learning how to plate our Delicious Asparagus Wraps

they look so pretty :)

I think my awesome photographer had a blast with this group.

funny faces, smiles, and poses...what more could you ask for

You guys made my night. I don't think I've laughed so hard in a cooking class yet.

Hope we get to this again for you guys.

An extremely memorable night! And I don't mean in a bad way.

THANKS!!!!

It's groups like this that make me love what I do

Asparagus Wraps

Ingredients:

12 pc’s of Asparagus

1-2 Thin pieces of Steak

Olive oil

1 garlic clove (crushed)

Balsamic Vinegar

Salt and Pepper to taste

Directions:

1. Steam Asparagus and Crushed Garlic to still crunchy. Remove from pan, and shock in cold water bath to stop the cooking progress. (also helps keep the asparagus a nice green colour)

2. Meanwhile pre-heat oven to 350 degress

3. Place piece of steak in between two layers of plastic wrap and pound out thin

4. Take three pieces of asparagus, (3 pieces for each thinly pounded out piece of steak) and wrap inside pounded out steak and secure seam side of meat with toothpick forming a nice little bundle

5. Heat 2 tbsp of oil in a pan

6. Place asparagus bundles in hot pan and sear on all sides. Be sure not too crowd your pan, you will loose some heat

7. Remove from pan, and place on lightly sprayed baking sheet and bake for approx. 5-10 mins depending on desired doneness

8. Remove wraps from oven, and let rest for about 5 mins before serving or cutting into them

9. In the same pan used to sear the bundles, place 4 tbsp of balsamic vinegar and simmer until reduced by about half and somewhat thickened

Serve warm with drizzle of balsamic reduction

Until we cook again:)

What's your Culinary Question?

So...it's that time again. I know I wanted to do this post once week, but life has been really busy, so it may not happen that often, but it will happen.
With that said...Ask Away!!What is your Culinary Question?What would you like to ask?
I'll do my best to answer.
Until you ask again :)
ps...stay tunned for pictures and posts from my latest cooking classes. They were a huge hit!!!

Julie and Julia Class

This class was an absolute blast to teach :)Probably due to the fact that when I saw this movie...I knew instantly that I wanted to do a class featuring some of the recipes.
You can't have a Julie and Julia class without having the movie playing in the background. What a great way to enjoy the whole experience.

lemon - raspberry bavarian cake

couldn't have done this class without preparing some delicious bruschetta

grilled artichokes with lemon (these were fabulous! everyone enjoyed them)

lemon herb roasted chicken

Thanks everyone for a great evening of laughter and even greater food!

Food is truly meant to be shared!

Thank you VR Photography for the beautiful pictures taken so that I can share them all with you!

Until we cook again :)
