get your yummy back

I know. It’s been a while. I am happy to report I’m about one month into a new job, and well, it sort of took over earlier this week. Last night was the launch event for Jose Andres Catering with Ridgewells. I was in the kitchen. It was fabulous. I’m talking over the top fabulous. This new venture combines the restaurant and catering worlds into an entirely new concept. The food is delicious, creative and surprising – in a good way. It plays on tastes, textures, and combinations unlike any food you’ve ever seen coming out of a catering operation. And, yes, Jose Andres has been at the events, along with his cadre of chefs and the chef from Ridgewells. I could go on (and on), but then I would never get to dinner tonight, which was tasty, healthy, and something you can easily do at home – Turkey Burgers with Carrot-Ginger Sauce. It’s a tasty twist on the old standard. The carrot-ginger sauce has a nice tang and is used to dress sprouts for topping the burgers, along with sliced avocado. In addition to its reputation as “brain food,” avocado is a rich source of copper and rich in monounsaturated oils, otherwise known as easily digested, “good for you,” fats. So, go ahead, enjoy your burger!
