Pasta Making in Bologna with Rita

Wednesday, June 13th, 2012

Here’s some videos from my trip to Italy. I took some video clips on my IPhone, and Julie pieced them together afterward. Our chef Rita taught us how to make pasta by hand and how to make a ragu! These videos show the ragu, but we later made some tortellini with a ricotta filling. ENJOY! 

 

Morimoto made this amazing sashimi salad called Masaharu Morimoto's Red Snapper 2-Ways with Garden Vegetables I love the presentation

I love food that is inspirational and this dish just did it for me.  I was watching Ming Tsai on PBS today and he was visiting Morimoto, Iron Chef, at his restaurant in Napa Valley.  Morimoto took a fish, painted some edible food coloring on its head and tall.  Yellow on the head and green on the tail then placed a white towel on top.  He then painted with a brush an eye and added some embellishments.  Next comes the sashimi, then amazing veggies drizzle some olive oil and house made soy sauce and WOW!  So fresh, I love it.

How to make a turkey Tutorial

Sunday, November 20th, 2011

I found these great videos demonstrating how to make a turkey.  First I highly recommend brining the turkey, chicken or pork whenever you are going to make those meats.  Even if it is for an hour it is worth it.  You can flavor the brine the way you like. This video uses bourbon for the turkey, cool idea, you can also use citrus, spices etc.  Try and brine overnight.  Click on the photo to see the video. Read More→
