Wintery Recipes

I’ve been hosting cooking classes at my house since the fall. I LOVE it.
My next class on Wintery Recipes will be this weekend.

About six students come over for a couple hours of merriment, instruction and practice. But the best part is when we sit down and eat it all up. At this point the invitations are pretty exclusive, since I only have so much room in my kitchen. Not to mention, the classes are in my home so only friends and friends of friends are priviledged to join us. But soon I’ll have my personal chef certification and be able to host classes in a more public forum. Stay tuned.

Pork Loin and Savory Sweet Potatoes
This is one of my signature dishes. It’s simple, robust and really impressive. We’ll make a dry rub and dry roast this precious piece of meat. The savory sweet potatoes are a departure from mashed potatoes that will change the way you’ve always thought about sweet potatoes.

Braised Beef and Root Vegetables
This process requires cooking in liquid. It will make the beef tender and succulent. We’ll toss in some root vegetables i.e. carrots, potatoes and beets to round out the meal.

Stuffed Chicken and Roasted Veggies
Who needs to fry the chicken when you can stuff it full of goodness and yield deeper flavors without adding excess fat and oils? We’ll master the art of stuffing a chicken breast. The possibilities are endless.
