I recently attended a cooking class given by Liza Kilgariff of Golden Gourmet Catering. I’ve enjoyed her cuisine before at catered events, and now I had the opportunity to watch her work and taste her exquisite fare. We not only got to see her knife skills, but we also heard all about the region of the food we would eat. We heard the “back story” of dishes, such as Puttanesca….hmm, is the truth behind the name related to “women of the evening” who needed something quick and easy to make after a long day of working….or is it so named because of it’s spicy flavor? Did I mention we also received the recipes of the dishes she made….well, we did!
One of my favorite dishes (and I made many……okay, ALL of the dishes Liza made were my new favorites!) was the Steamed Cauliflower with Garlic, Lemon, Olive Oil and White Wine. With this being summertime, it’s the perfect time to make this dish….and it’s even nice enough for company. Add this to your recipe repertoire.
Let me know if you’d like to more recipes like this! I’m happy to share!! And if you are interesting in attending a demonstrational cooking class to learn directly from Liza, click here: Golden Gourmet Culinary Classes.
