Sur la Table Vitamix Demo
Here I am at Sur la Table demo'ing the Vitamix. I made a Creamy Broccoli Curry Soup. The Vitamix, seriously, it's an awesome machine. I sauteed some leeks in butter, then added a little vegetable broth and broccoli florets until they softened. Toss that all into the Vitamix with a little cream, a dash of curry and salt, and blend, Baby, blend. The super cool thing about this machine is that it actually heats the soup at the right levels. Very cool.
The Melissa
A replication of one of Michael's go to low-carb dishes at Bistro Aix, a favorite San Francisco neighborhood restaurant. It's not on the menu, his friend Melissa -- a restaurant regular -- has specially requested this low-carb treat. Ask for The Melissa, they'll know what you mean. Pan-seared halibut over green beans topped with a buttery white wine sauce. Deee-lish!
Cilantro Sprouting!
My little herb garden wall project is coming along. Cilantro has begun to sprout in it's new little home -- a green mason jar mounted on a piece of distressed wood. So cute! Little life sprung! I got these Ball jars in a set of six from Sur la Table. Check them out!
Wall Herb Garden Project - Part One
I love cooking with fresh herbs. As is typical with City living, we have no yard or even patio area for a garden. So I'm making an herb garden in my kitchen. It will be a wall piece. I've collected all of the elements for the garden, next will be to put them all together. My talented artist sister will be visiting soon and she has promised to help me finish the project. Stay tuned!
