Thanksgiving

A New Twist on Classic Harvest Fare: Stuffed Turkey Breast with Swiss Chard, Cranberries, Fontina and Parmesan Cheese, with Sautéed Carrots and Green Beans.

Chef’s tip: Butterfly your meat. “The trick to stuffing meat is to butterfly it. This involves splitting the meat almost all the way through so it can be opened out like a book and then tenderizing by working from the inside out.”

Christmas

A New Yuletide Favorite: Blue Cheese-Crusted Lamb Chops with Mashed Potatoes, Garlic Sautéed Spinach and Rosemary Demi-Glaze

Chef Favorite: I make this recipe at home all of the time!

Chef’s tip: Freeze your butter compound. “Mix butter, blue cheese, bread crumbs and parsley. Place on a sheet of plastic wrap, roll into a log shape and store in the freezer. It’s ready to go when you need it, and it melts perfectly as you serve the table. This compound is great for steak, chicken or whatever!”

New Year’s

Try Breakfast for Dinner: Braised Pork Belly with Potato Pancake, Fried Egg and Tomatoes with Hollandaise Sauce

Chef’s tip: Poach your egg in a ladle. And for a quick potato cake, use leftover mashed potatoes. “Fill a ladle with hot water and crack egg into it. Wait a few seconds for the egg white to precook before slowly submerging both ladle and egg into pot of boiling water.”
