Some New Favorite Recipes

Chris and I had the honor of attending the Pebble Beach Food and Wine Festival.  Many talented chefs attended this event.  I had the opportunity to see several cooking demos, purchase cookbooks, and even meet a few of my favorite chefs.  When having the book, Cooking with Love, by Chef Carla Hall signed I asked her what her favorite recipe was.  She responded that the buffalo wing burgers were her favorite.  Inspired by meeting one of my favorite chefs, I had to try this recipe out when I got home.  We decided to make these burgers as sliders using mini baguette rolls from our favorite local bakery.  I must say the sliders were amazing.




 So amazing that we then decided to make her flank steak with red pepper tapenade the next night.  I was a bit skeptical of some of the ingredients in the tapenade, I am not a huge fan of capers.  But the balance of flavors in the tapenade was fabulous.  We were both full, but could not stop eating this wonderful meal.  If you have a chance, check out some of Chef Carla Hall's recipes.  We have enjoyed making them since returning home from the Festival.


More to come on the Food and Wine Festival, stay tuned.
