| Our Favorite Recipes |
With the rainy season in full swing in California, we naturally begin to think about comfort foods when the family gets home clamoring for dinner (or the tummy begins to rumble). Pans on Fire students recently honed their comfort food skills with chicken noodle soup, beef stew and dumplings, salad with an updated blue cheese dressing and warm homemade chocolate pudding with a dollop of whipped cream.
Check out the " Featured Recipes" page and see how to make your own homemade chocolate pudding. NOTE: When you attend a cooking class you'll be working with Wusthof knives, Weil Cookware by SPRING, Swiss Diamond, and KitchenAid pans and using Viking small appliances. It's a great way to experience the exceptional quality of these products before you buy. |
