Nice & Golden. Roast Chicken with Garlic, Sage & Prosciutto. Reminds me of culinary school.

@Refinergy I love my Instapot. It’s great for quick braising and Pho.

Almost all my friends have an Instant Pot now too. Here's why (not affiliated).
- Fully stainless steel. No Teflon, no PFAS, no non-stick coating. Clean cooking from the start.
- Meal prep master. 8 bowls of chicken stew in one go. Fall-apart tender in ~30 minutes.
- Less histamine than slow cooking. Fast high-heat pressure limits histamine buildup in meat.
- Lectins in foods like beans and tomatoes significantly reduced.
- Better nutrient retention than boiling. Sealed + shorter time = less oxidation and leaching.
- No planning. Throw it in, lock the lid, walk away. Safer than leaving the stove on all day.
- Bone broth in 3 hours (not 24) with excellent collagen and mineral extraction.
The most tender meat you’ve ever made. Every single time.

Stacked. The perfect S’More is always more S’Mores. Opt for homemade square marshmallows and extra dark chocolate. Just my opinion 👩🍳🙌🏻.

The menu for tonight’s State Dinner at the White House with King Charles and Queen Camilla:
First Course
Garden Vegetable Velouté
Hearts of Palm
Toasted Shallots
Micro Mint
The first course offers delicate garden herb velouté, silken and aromatic, complemented by a refreshing hearts of palm salad. Finished with crisp toasted shallots and a whisper of micro mint for brightness and contrast.
Second Course
Spring Herbed Ravioli
Ricotta Cheese
Morels
Parmesan Emulsion
The second course is made of a handcrafted spring herb ravioli, featuring herbs from the White House Kitchen Garden, generously filled with creamy ricotta, earthy morels, gently dressed in a light parmesan emulsion, which enhances the essence of the dish.
Third Course
Dover Sole Meunière
Potato Pavé
Spring Ramps
Snow Peas
Parsley Oil
The third course is made of a classic dover sole meunière, expertly prepared and bathed in a nutty brown butter. The fish is accompanied by tender spring ramps, sweet snow peas, layered potatoes pavé, and a vibrant parsley oil for a refined, seasonal finish.
Dessert
White House Honey & Vanilla Bean Crémeux
Flourless Chocolate Gâteau
Almond Joconde
Crème Fraîche Ice Cream
For dessert, guests will be served a sweet beehive shaped chocolate gâteau with a smooth vanilla bean crémeux custard, delicately set inside with an almond joconde. The refined, feather-light sponge joconde will provide the dessert a nutty taste, balanced with a brown butter crumble. The beehive will be complimented with crème fraîche ice cream and White House honey.

@JacquiHeinrich Great. Although probably not “freeze dried”. Likely frozen.

On set. Behind the scenes. iPhone shot. Styling breakfast. Farm style.

@ChefGruel I’m thinking it will be more like the auto industry. Automation will replace or streamline repetitive tasks, although you will still need people for tasting, finesse and fine tuning.

Everyone tells me the restaurant industry will be taken over by technology

Egg Benedict always hits the spot. Hollandaise with Tarragon, Poached Eggs, Crispy Prosciutto, Homemade English Muffins. Happy Easter.

I made some English muffins from scratch. Lots more work then I imagined. Plus side is they have no dough conditioners, no preservatives and I used organic flour. Delicious.

Gut-wrenching. Six kids without a father.
The GoFundMe for Major Davius is here: gofundme.com/f/support-the-…

My heart goes out to the Davius family as they mourn the heartbreaking loss of Major Sorrfly Davius. A devoted husband, father of six, and resident of Rockland County, Major Davius dedicated his life to serving others—as a paramedic, an NYPD officer, and a National Guardsman. As his family navigates this unimaginable loss, we keep them in our thoughts and prayers. A GoFundMe has been created to help support his children’s education and assist the family during this difficult time. Any support is deeply appreciated and a meaningful way to honor Major Davius’s legacy of service and love.
