Cooking with Cast Iron

Learn to season and keep your cast iron so it will last forever and become your most valuable kitchen assistant!

  • Chile Con Queso- cast iron holds a gentle heat as well as a high sear- so fondue it!
  • Seared Thai Flank Steak- the sear is the flavour- with Herb Salad with Lime Dressing
  • Sourdough “Boule”- an oven in the oven, creating an extraordinary crust.
  • Tuscan Chicken ‘’Under a Brick”- the perfect roasted chicken with jus for sauce
  • Dutch Baby- the art of popovers and Yorkshires- we’ll do it with lemon and apples for dessert.

 

Moroccan Feast

  • Butternut Squash and Tomato Soup. Learn about spice blends that will change your cooking!
  • Spinach Salad with Preserved Lemons and Olives. Preserved lemons sound exotic, and they are, but they're also addictive. Everyone needs more spinach!
  • Tagine of Lamb Kefta with Warm Spices. Kefta are meatballs simmered in a fragrant sauce, one of the easiest tagines ever. Have a tagine? Get it out now!
  • Carrot and Chickpea Tagine with Turmeric and Cilantro. The perfect side to the Kefta
  • Pistachio-Almond “Napoleons”- phyllo crisps layered with vanilla custard. Moroccans love their sweets, and this draws from the French influence in their desserts

 

Irish Pub Crawl

  • Irish Cheddar “Sausage” Rolls: Leprechaun tricky, the rolls have no sausage, but you’ll be fooled. Great with chutney. Make and freeze for a bit of trickery.
  • Cress with Honey-Pepper Apples, Bacon and “Shamrock Green Goddess”: winter salads don’t have to be boring, especially with this combo
  • Guinness Glazed Short Ribs with Horseradish Glaze: succulent short ribs with that dark Guinness goodness, with the added tang of the glaze
