Have you always wanted to perform your own Iron Chef episode right in your own kitchen? However, maybe your attempts to whip something up with tomatoes and peanut butter ended up looking like, well tomatoes and peanut butter? What about that dish combining old bananas and dried pasta? Disaster in the kitchen?
If you’ve been there, done that and avoided the salmonella, head to Macy’s Lakeside in Metairie next Thursday (8/12) and check out Iron Chef America’s first and only female chef, Cat Cora, at 6:30PM. A mom herself, Cat will share details of how to simplify the sometimes-overwhelming task of family dinners and keep all tummies happy and healthy! For the paparazzi in you, catch Cat afterwards for a photo opportunity and to sign copies of her newest cookbook Classics with a Twist: Fresh Takes on Favorite Dishes.
Cat is part of an elite team of 12 chefs who make up the Macy’s Culinary Council. Appearing at Macy’s stores all over the country, these top chefs (think Rick Bayless, Marcus Samuelsson, Tyler Florence) demonstrate recipes and share tips from their culinary toolbox. Let’s face it, all those mobile apps with grocery lists and recipes become a lot easier to tackle when you can see it done first in person! The event is free, but your advance RSVP is a must. Be sure to call 877-884-3751 to reserve your space and get a taste.
