Well, last night we had a small dinner party with my husband's company. It was a wonderful evening and I am still full! I served individual beef wellingtons with a red wine pan sauce, roasted potatoes with blue cheese, creamed spinach sprinkled with bacon and for dessert turtle cheesecake (sorry for the blurry picture). Check out the gorgeous seafood platters (shrimp/snow crab claws and house smoked salmon) which I purchased from Diamond Seafood in Lake Zurich (check them out under my links). The whole menu is a perfect "do ahead" and don't forget to take advantage of the outdoor refrigerator for your food. Enjoy the recipes!

About Me
- Carol
- As a professional in the food industry, before I became a mom, I was definitely a "purist". I like to give the example that when I served pate, I made the pate, weighing it down with my tinfoil covered brick! Once I had children, life got much busier. Consequently, I created shortcuts and do ahead tips for my recipes. Although I firmly believe in cooking with all natural ingredients, it doesn't always have to be so time consuming to cook a wonderful meal. Throughout my professional career, I have worked in many places; gourmet take outs, caterers, restaurants, etc., but my passion has always been teaching cooking. I try to make my recipes very "doable" for the average person with lots of shopping tips and from the knowledge I received from catering lots of "do ahead" tips. My passion has always been sharing my knowledge of cooking, and nothing makes me happier then when I hear that a person made the recipes from my classes and that it was a great success. Hope to hear from you!
