Conquering Cuisine

Your seat awaits. One of our favorite cuisines to explore Spain. Tapas and paella…I don’t think there’s a better way to entertain, especially in summertime. Join us for one of the classes coming up!

Low-key dinner tonight. Baked salmon, steamed rice, and a really flavorful sauce. Steamed peas, peppers, onions, and vindaloo sauce. Puréed and finished with a little bit of cream. So good.

This past Saturday we hosted a bridal shower. Our guests enjoyed a French meal featuring homemade crepes, a classic salad and chicken Provençal. Our classes are a fun way host a variety of events!

Last night we explored the wine and food of Spain with sommelier and wine educator Mike Conti. Our guests enjoyed classic mixed seafood, chicken and chorizo, paella, stuffed piquillo peppers, crab, croquettes, and decadent chocolate cake. As a bonus, we started with a pinxto from the weather in Spain - castrelvetrano olives wrapped with white anchovy over a blue cheese mousse. Mike is a master at finding wines that complement these bold flavors.

My Taco Tuesday. Pan toasted flour tortillas stuffed with Halibut, queso, lettuce and onion. Spicy guacamole with bacon and cilantro. Mexican rice with chorizo. Comfort food. What a nice way to finish the day.

Been awhile since I fired up the Ooni pizza oven. But it’s a beautiful night and I’m getting ready for the NFL draft. Flyers and Sixers are in the playoffs. It’s been tough with the Phillies, but I still have faith. It’s great to be a sports fan in Philadelphia.

More highlights from Tuscany. Siena, bistecca, Firenze, and gelato. This tour combined food, experiences and beautiful landscapes. A trip to remember!

Living la bella vita! Two days in Tuscany, cheese tasting, pasta making, wine tasting and touring. Life is good. Amazing experience and more to come.

Today will be hard to top! After a morning touring Assisi, we enjoyed a delicious lunch with a local family. Such hospitality, including a piano concert by their son.

Day 2 brings us to Umbria and to olive presser. Remarkable family owned business with generations of traditions. Delicious!
