The Thomas Keller Preservation Society

Arguably America's overstep chef, Thomas Keller is known for creating some of the most beautiful, forward-thinking, innovative nutrient inwards the country. So I'll acknowledge to existence only a petty flake disappointed to detect out his demo inwards Aspen was called, World's Best Preserves. When I intend preserves, I moving-picture exhibit dusty stonemason jars inwards the dorsum of a cupboard.

Having said that, if the demo was titled, "Thomas Keller Reads from the Aspen Yellow Pages," I'd bring nevertheless been the start ane inwards line. In fact, to hand y'all a ameliorate idea, I missed an resultant called "Fat is Phat" to encounter him. As it turns out, non exclusively wasn't I disappointed, I was completely enthralled.

Charming, witty, too sternly professorial all at the same time, this "chef's chef" took the audience through 3 easy-to-make, multi-functional preserves. We learned how to do cured lemons, mushroom conserva, too olive tapenade, all of which were from his critically acclaimed Ad Hoc at Home cookbook.

In add-on to learning how to brand the preserves, Chef Keller offered lots of ideas on how to utilization these "life savers," equally he calls them. It was a fun, informative lecture, too I'll live posting recipes from it soon, too thus remain tuned!


Tim Love Love

If I had to pick out only ane chef from the impressive collection inwards Aspen to crusade cross-country with, it would live Tim Love. And that's earlier I saw his epic High Steaks Grilling demo. This is a homo who knows how to bring a practiced time, equally good equally grill a damn fine steak.

I've been to many educational cooking lessons, too I've been to many entertaining cooking lessons, but really rare is the occasion where both meld into ane perfectly pleasurable presentation. This was perchance the unmarried most enjoyable cooking demo I've every attended.

In additional to existence hilarious, too laser-fast amongst the one-liners, Love is a natural born instructor amongst a ton of corking grilling knowledge. He had the large audience inwards the palm of his mitt from the minute he poured his start drinking glass of white wine, which past times the way, is what he suggests y'all drinkable piece y'all grill.

Next calendar week I'll live doing an in-depth grilling tips too tricks postal service amongst all the data I collected. I intend you'll live really surprised at some of Love's somewhat controversial theories too practices. I'll also live posting a short, but priceless video clip of something called "oil shot roulette." In anticipation, y'all tin read this weblog post I did at lastly year's Classic for a petty tease.
