Sous Chef Cooking Class

I will be teaching the Sous Chef cooking class on Saturday. The entree is Caramelized Shrimp with Lemongrass, Thai Chilies and Ginger.  The class starts at noon and will last about 15 - 20 minutes as the entree is a very quick cook. I will go over some of the ingredients and talk about how to use them and what to use if you cannot find particular items.

See you there!

Farmers Market

I went to the Henderson Farmers Market today. In truth it was the hottest day so far this year which made the veggies and fruit look even better.  I was disappointed that there were so few vendors but  I did get some great melons, green onions and tomatoes.  Next week I may get some berries and do some small scale canning.  If you have a Farmers Market near you I suggest that you check it out.  Even if there are not a lot of vendors, you can still get good food.

Ollive Oil

I love to cook with olive oil. It adds a certain flavor and it is healthy. I was asked about Olive Oil since it is a fat and what the benefits are. So I found this link to the Mayo Clinic website. Check it out

In some cultures Olive Oil is also used as skin lotion and on dry hair. Who knew??  I still like it best in food.
