Cooking in a Beautiful Kitchen

I am working on locations in which to cook and bake and a friend offered to host my March Cooking Club in her newly remodeled kitchen.  I am so excited!   

While my kitchen is perfectly functional, I find myself dreaming of cooking in someone else's kitchen.  Sometimes it's the space, sometimes it's the appliances, but always it's the draw of a different kitchen. 

My friend, Betty, now has the latest Viking Gas Stove Top, a Wolf double wall oven, and a beautiful island with a unique granite countertop.  

Do you see the microwave? And isn't the granite gorgeous!

Double Ovens! With a warming drawer below.

A unique Granite Center Island!  Imagine kneading and rolling dough here!

It is all gorgeous and I just want to play!  

To take advantage of the opportunity to bake in this kitchen, I am holding a session on making  breads and biscuits.   This will be a learning experience as we explore: 

1)   Buttermilk Biscuits versus Baking Powder Biscuits.  What’s the difference? What's faster, flakier, tastier?

2)   Working with Bread Dough.  How is dough affected by baking it in a Dutch oven or on a pizza stone? Can the same dough be used to make a pizza crust?  A calzone?  A flatbread?  A rolled bread with filling, such as Stromboli?  Does a longer resting period affect the flavor?  

We will answer these questions, and more!

I am excited to find out all of this and I will report back on what we discovered later this month.  Check back soon!

If you have a gorgeous kitchen that is just begging to be used by people who love to cook, please contact me!  There are many “foodies” who share my dreams of cooking in a great kitchen.
