I love classic vinaigrettes, fresh herbs, and the way a squeeze of lemon brightens a dish. I believe good fats are essential to our wellbeing, that the best tomatoes come straight off the vine at the peak of summer and that salted chocolate chip cookies make just about any day better. I think the way we raise our animals and grow our fruit translates directly to the plate, and I seek to make food that highlights the hard work done by the farmers who feed us. Every meal is an occasion to celebrate the simple joys of life. In my work as a private chef, food stylist, cooking teacher and general purveyor of good times, my goal is to share my love of food with the world. 🧈 https://morebutterplease.com/Cocktail-Parties Wed, 16 Dec 2020 16:34:03 +0000 More Butter Please https://morebutterplease.com/Cocktail-Parties <img width="1500" height="177" width_o="1500" height_o="177" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/b7a16d0fe1e70dcb0b657a3100b8f186d95ac171ccd557816a52155cfee09e3f/COCKTAIL-PARTIES-BUTTON1500x.png" data-mid="220942184" border="0" data-scale="57" data-rotation="-5" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/b7a16d0fe1e70dcb0b657a3100b8f186d95ac171ccd557816a52155cfee09e3f/COCKTAIL-PARTIES-BUTTON1500x.png" /> Mix It Up There are times when a simple seated dinner simply won't do. Times when mixing and mingling are the order of the day. And times when it's more fun to have 22 tiny snacks than one big plate of food. Times like these call for a cocktail party. You'll assemble your guest list and I will assemble my team of app-passers and cocktail shakers and wine pourers and snack makers. And we will wine and dine your guests and then leave your space as spotless as when we found it. That's the magic of hiring a food fairy to make your wishes come true.

Learning to cook might be one of the most empowering things you can do for yourself. It gives you control over the contents of your dinner (lord knows you're not going to go putting preservatives in it!) and serves as a tangible gift to your family and friends. I believe that eating well should not require a massive undertaking at each meal; rather, meals can be assembled from any number of good ingredients kept on hand. I can teach you how to shop and prep in a way that sets you up to always have something delicious in the fridge whenever hunger strikes. 👩‍🍳 https://morebutterplease.com/Library-1 Wed, 16 Dec 2020 16:45:37 +0000 More Butter Please https://morebutterplease.com/Library-1 <img width="917" height="292" width_o="917" height_o="292" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/6984878c303784e5c1786e0d33eb406c4dee86e488aa29822d5719bcec7ebcf2/tabs-34.png" data-mid="92356991" border="0" data-draggable data-rotation="10" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/917/i/6984878c303784e5c1786e0d33eb406c4dee86e488aa29822d5719bcec7ebcf2/tabs-34.png" /> Good things to read. https://morebutterplease.com/Sunday-Suppers-at-Lucques Wed, 16 Dec 2020 19:06:56 +0000 More Butter Please https://morebutterplease.com/Sunday-Suppers-at-Lucques #0001 — 12.16.20 Sunday Suppers at LuCques When, in May of 2020, I read that Lucques restaurant had closed its doors for good, I cried crocodile tears. My reaction caught even me, an avid lover of Suzanne Goin's cooking, a little off guard. Yes, I have cooked my way through the entirety of Sunday Suppers at Lucques, and my first meal there was the one most food-lovers can reflect back on as the moment that things changed forever. But the thing that really got me was the fact that they didn't get to celebrate; they didn't get to go out with a bang. After 20 years of culinary magic, Lucques just quietly faded from sight. The reason, of course, for the lack of pomp and circumstance was the global pandemic that has taken out so many special food beacons around America. The unique thing about the Lucques story, though, is that it wasn't the pandemic that made them choose closure. Suzanne and her team had made that decision before March came and changed all our lives. The why has not been made clear, but I would guess that it might fall somewhere in the realm of "even beautiful things must someday die" and/or "20 years is a long time to keep doing the same thing." Truthfully, Lucques lived a good, long life, and Suzanne's food continues to live on at her other LA restaurants. What's more, her recipes live on in her cookbooks. Sunday Suppers at Lucques is hands-down my favorite cookbook of all time. So much so that I would consider Suzanne, who I've never met, my unofficial cooking teacher. She taught me about seasonality and the importance of excellent ingredients and that plastic wrap (the good, stretchy, restaurant kind) can go in the oven. Her Sunday supper menus inspired my own and catalyzed my supper club in Downtown LA. Like any good teacher, she instilled in me a love for the things that she loves: braised meats, really good salads in all seasons, and cultured sweet cream butter sprinkled with Maldon salt flakes. To call her my muse isn't perfectly accurate: she might be something more like a fairy godmother, minus the pudge and the nightgown.
