Falafel (noun) fa-la-fel – Krispiness + Herbaciousness= Deliciousness!

Ooo yes! It’s falafel time. On this episode of Building Culinary Confidence we’re going to dive into the delicious world of falafels. Together we’ll be putting together this legendary chick pea based food. I want to show everyone how diverse this base recipe truly is.

Now, you probably have lots of questions to ask and I’m the chef that wants to answer them for you. First, yes, it can be vegan and it’s already vegetarian. Second, yes it can be gluten free. Third, yes, falafel can be such an exciting, textural experience that your family, friends and guests will talk about it for generations to come! Lol.

Then I want to show everyone a quick cooking method for fish that has a kool mediterranean vibe to it.

So join me for a falafel adventure on March 7, 2021. Grab your favorite beverage, I’d recommend a Sauvignon Blanc, Gewurtraminer or a Voigner for our white wine fans. For our red wine aficionados I’d recommend a Syrah, Petite Syrah, Malbec, Zinfandel or a Grenache! All of these wines will match the unique flavor profile of the mighty Falafel! Don’t like wine you say? That’s okay. Pour yourself a big glass of cold seltzer water and squeeze a wedge of lemon, lime, orange and a slice of cucumber. If you really want to go wild then throw in some fresh basil or mint or both!

I look forward to seeing you on the show.

P.S. Since I’m a 70’s child I like to spell kool with a k not a c. Lol.4 of 30Copy event URLAdd to calendarManage event

Time to Grind! Chorizo that is.

Deliciousness is coming to Building Culinary Confidence! Chorizo is in the house. Literally.

On this episode we’re going to be seasoning, grinding and stuffing chorizo. We’ll be speaking about the basic techniques of making sausage so that you’ll be able to make your own fresh sausage. Once you taste a fresh sausage that you’ve made, you’ll never want to eat supermarket sausage again.

Yes there will be glorious Spanish cheese to eat and several elegant Spanish wines to taste.

So please join me for a fun filled afternoon of stuffing your own Chorizo sausage.
