My Next ACE Classes, New Recipe, Chef Kevin on Instagram, and my Fall 2015 Schedule

Post Date: 11 October 2015

Here is my new friend I met in Seattle on our way back from Japan.

Next Cooking Basics 101 Class starts on October 14

The first of three sessions meets on Tuesday evening, October 14, at 6:30 at McLean High School.  We will be making a Caprese Salad and a no-bake dessert featuring blueberries and ricotta cheese.  The main dish will be Pan Fried Chicken Italiano with fresh vegetable, probably asparagus or broccoli.  Basic knife skills and food safety will also be discussed.

Italian Desserts Class starts October 18

This 2 session class will be held Sunday afternoons at 12:30 at the Plum Center in Springfield.  We will be making both baked and no bake desserts which will include Tiramisu, Cannoli, and Hazelnut Cake.  Making Ricotta Cheese at home will also be covered.

New Recipe

This past week I made an excellent dish from a recipe in the October 2015 Food Network Magazine, Spiced Chicken with Apples.  The chicken is pan fried in olive oil, as are red onion and Gala apple wedges.  The spices are salt, pepper, allspice, and turmeric.  A reduction sauce is made with chicken broth, lemon juice, and honey.  The recipe calls for Swiss chard as the vegetable, but I used green beans instead.

 Here is where you can get the recipe:
