Cooking with Help

In my opinion, cooking was never meant to be a solitary activity. Yes, it's good for the occasional moment of quite time, but the best meals are always a collaboration.


This weekend I had the pleasure of trying a new popover recipe with 2 of the most enthusiastic soux chefs I've ever had the pleasure of working with. These little guys not only measured and stirred with the best of them. They also kept a very close eye on the "popping process."

(See? Kids really can survive without a TV)

Kids are excellent reminders of what cooking should be; messy, creative, and most of all, fun.


Local ingredients in the popovers:

• flour
• eggs
• butter
• milk
