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.
