Cooking Basics 101 in Herndon

The second session of this three session class meets this Thursday evening, May 26, at Herndon High School.  We will be getting a lot of knife skills practice as we make a vegetable soup and hull strawberries for the no bake dessert.  The main course will be a Baked Salmon with Sautéed Broccoli on the side.  We will also be discussing different types of salt.

Date Night Cooking for Novice Cooks

This one session class meets this Friday evening, May 27^th, at 6:30 at the Plum Center in Springfield.  Our starter dish will be Strawberry Basil Prosciutto Sandwiches.  For dessert we will have Cannoli; we will make the filling in class; I will provide the shells.  I am still trying to decide between fish or chicken for the main course.

Chef K’s Turkey Lunch Salad for 1

I make this salad for myself most afternoons, so I thought I would share it with you (pictured above).  You can have it at home, or make to bring to work.  The order of the ingredients below is the order in which I add them to the salad.

½ cup Baby Spinach, tightly packed

¼ cup Chickpeas, rinsed and drained

4 Grape Tomatoes, rinsed and quartered

4 Olives, Green or Black, quartered

Fat Free Feta crumbled on top

1 slice Low Sodium Turkey Breast, chopped finely and sprinkled on top

Unsalted Sunflower Seeds sprinkled on top

Olive Oil

Vinegar – Balsamic or your favorite.

 

A.C.E. 60^th Anniversary Celebration

Pictured above are some of the Chocolate Biscotti I made for guests to snack on during my demonstration of Quick Fire Parmesan at the A.C.E. 60^th Anniversary Celebration last Sunday afternoon.  The afternoon was a great success, with a lot of interest being shown in the culinary programs.
