Wolfgang Puck demonstrates the secret to perfect Yukon Gold Potatoes. The secret ingredient is a sprinkling of Iranian osetra caviar and his special recipe for Crème Fraîche. Just mix buttermilk and heavy cream, and leave overnight at room temperature. Oh so simple, but knowing Wolfgang Puck, oh so delicious.

Celebrity Chef Of the Day: Mario Batali

September 5, 2007 | Posted by Allison as Celebrity Chefs at 9:02 am | (3) Comments »

Continuing on with our celebrity chef-ridden month, we’re celebrating the talents of the one & only Mario Batali today.

Batali attended Rutgers University, graduating in 1982 with a double major in Spanish Theater & Economics. Well, that’s rather impressive & interesting, eh?

Another little interesting tidbit about our little Mario is that he met & married Susi Cahn, the daughter of the founders of Coach Leather. That was quite a find, if you ask me. Mario & Susi have two sons together, Leo & Benno.

With his trademark orange clogs, Batali has wowed us with his cookbooks, such as his 2006 Mario Tailgates NASCAR style as well as with his restaurant pursuits in Las Vegas.

From dishwasher to pizzaman, Mario has seen it all & lived to tell us all about the right way to cook!

Celebrity Chef Of the Day: Jeff Smith

September 4, 2007 | Posted by Allison as Celebrity Chefs at 10:26 am | Comments »

Hello out there, dear readers. I trust that everyone enjoyed a relaxing Labor Day on Monday, I know I tried my best to forget anything laborious & concentrate on more engaging pursuits like lazing around in my hammock.

Well, since we’ve since entered a new month, we have to choose the topic & I think I’ve got a goodie. For each blogging day the month of September we’re going to learn a little more about our celebrity chefs than we know or maybe even wanted to know!

We’re starting off with the late TV personality Jeff Smith who was the author of several best-selling cookbooks as well as the highly acclaimed host of The Frugal Gourmet.

Smith was born January 22, 1939, apparently entering into the tasty universe with an insatiable longing for good food. Graduating from University of Puget Sound in 1962 & Drew University in 1965, Smith first set off as a United Methodist minister who was known for his love of cuisine.

It wasn’t until Jeff started teaching cooking classes to the public with the launch of a show in Tacoma did his career really start taking off. During this time the celebrity chef started to pen cooking books including The Frugal Gourmet, The Frugal Gourmet Cooks Three Ancient Cuisines: China, Greece, and Rome & The Frugal Gourmet Cooks With Wine.

Smith died of heart disease in July 2004, his obituary called him a “food genius” & I don’t think there’s much mistake in that.

Celebrity Chef Charlie Totter Teams Up With United Airlines

August 21, 2007 | Posted by Allison as Celebrity Chefs, Tid Bits & News at 12:00 pm | Comments »

United Airlines has been able to seduce celebrity chef Charlie Totter into teaming up with the airline to provide the upper class some tasty bites.

The famous Chicago chef will be crafting two menus for your flights, one for first class & the other for business class. While there’s no word as of yet what Totter has up his sleeve, I’m sure it will prove to be a success, though I think I’d go with first class if I were you…
