Easter is a time of true celebration. I mean, we are talking about the God of the universe loving us so much that He came down to Earth, suffered and died for our sins, and then to make sure everyone noticed He rose from the grave a few days later. Wow. And the best part,Continue reading “Easter Celebration Feast”

KKF Fast Food: Bacon & Cheese Quiche
Even when you love to cook, there are some days you are just energy-zapped or plain too busy to spend time making a delicious meal. Takeout is tempting you. A pizza delivery is just a phone call away. Just say no! When I’m feeling like this, I often turn to a crustless quiche. It’s easy,Continue reading “KKF Fast Food: Bacon & Cheese Quiche”
Nourishing Traditions Venison
I recently made the Vension Medallions in Tangy Sauce from Nourishing Traditions, a cookbook that no kitchen should be without. It was actually very simple: marinate thick slices of venison loin in the juice of two lemons (I got to use my new lemon squeezer!), green peppercorns and thyme. Brown the medallions in butter andContinue reading “Nourishing Traditions Venison”
KKF Gets Schooled: Indian Cuisine
I had another wonderful experience at the Whole Foods Salud cooking school, this time on Indian food. Originally the class had five students, then two called and cancelled. The other two did not show up. So I got a solo lesson! Even better, we had help! So it was me, Chef, and four helpers! That’sContinue reading “KKF Gets Schooled: Indian Cuisine”
KKF Gets Schooled: Braises & Stews
I attended another cooking class today, this time on Braises & Stews at Whole Food’s Salud Cooking School. It was an aggressive menu for a three hour class: Braised Short Ribs, Beef Stew, Pot Roast with Vegetables, Lamb Ragu and Creamy Polenta. There were nine students in class and we were split up into threeContinue reading “KKF Gets Schooled: Braises & Stews”
Georgia Luau
When I was 18 I visited Hawaii with my mom. It was my first plane flight and, other than a weeklong trip to Ohio when I was a pre-teen, my first actual vacation. Our friend Emmette graciously gave us a grand tour of Kauai, the island he lives on. Part of this tour was theContinue reading “Georgia Luau”
KKF Gets Schooled: Moroccan
Now that I’m done with school, the first thing I do is…sign up for more classes. Except this time I’m leaving finance far behind and indulging in some cooking classes offered by Whole Foods and Viking Cooking School. This past Sunday I got schooled in Moroccan cuisine! Here’s the menu we prepared: Orange Salad withContinue reading “KKF Gets Schooled: Moroccan”
Meat Roll Up Hack Job (AKA British Burritos)
I attempted to make Jamie Oliver’s Ground Beef Wellington the other night, a recipe in his Food Revolution cookbook. It’s basically ground beef mixed up with sautéed vegetables, wrapped in puff pastry and baked. As most of my kitchen hack jobs start out, I was missing something and improvised… I didn’t have frozen puff pastry.Continue reading “Meat Roll Up Hack Job (AKA British Burritos)”
A Mostly Sustainable Graduation Party
On January 8, 2011 I graduated summa cum laude from Georgia Gwinnett College with a degree in Business Administration, Finance concentration. To celebrate the event, I catered my own graduation party last Saturday night. As much as possible, I used local and/or organic food. It was a lot of work, but at the end ofContinue reading “A Mostly Sustainable Graduation Party”
Venison Rump Roast with Fennel and Onions
Since filling my freezer with deer meat generously donated to KKF from my new best friend, I have been busy conjuring and inventing and experimenting with venison. After my initial kung faux pas disappointment, I had success with venison chili, then scored a big win with the venison fried steak using some of the chuckContinue reading “Venison Rump Roast with Fennel and Onions”
