I went to a cooking class to try and improve my cooking skills, but it was a proposal to get married. In my early 20s I tried recipes and got tired of flattening them so I decided to take a cooking class. We couldn’t afford to eat out every night, but we wanted what we made in the kitchen tasted as good as what we could find in the restaurant. The first cooking class I ever filmed was the Easy Pasta and Sauce demonstration class taught by the late Jill Prescott. Jill explained to my class the importance of using…

These sesame bagels are soft and chewy inside, with beautiful golden crust and crunches from sesame seeds.The dough in these bagels is slightly damper than the typical New York-style bagels (64% hydration). I like this higher hydration. Because it makes softer bagels with more airy bread crumbs. However, it still has a nice chewy outside as it boils in a water bath before baking. Add egg wash before baking to help the sesame seeds stick together, giving the bagel a gorgeous, shiny golden top. Knead bagel dough These bagel dough can be kneaded either by hand or in a stand…

Instant pot Tuscany bean soup. It features hearty vegetarian soup from the heart of Italy, my pressure pot, dried cannellini beans and lots of vegetables. Looking for rib soup on sticks?
