MADE IN AMERICA – Fishing with Chefs Launch Party October 23rd, 2011

To celebrate the release of my book MADE IN AMERICA:Our Best Chefs Reinvent Comfort Food I am proud to announce the Made in America Fishing Trip, Sunday October 23, 2011 at 12.30pm out of San Pedro, California. There are a limited number of tickets being released to the public – be quick to hook one… this is the one of the most exclusive foodie events this fall.

Want to Come Fishing?

Lucy Lean, Donato Poto, Michael Cimarusti, Alain Giraud and Andrea Cavaliere

Rock Star Chefs

A who’s who of LA chefs is joining me, Lucy Lean, for fishing fun, lots of eating and a celebration of the book out on the high seas. This trip celebrates the chefs and the food of MADE IN AMERICA: Michael Cimarusti and Donato Poto (Providence), Josiah Citrin (Mélisse), Brendan Collins (Waterloo and City), Andrea Cavaliere (Cecconi’s), Alain Giraud (Maison Giraud), Waylynn Lucas (formerly of The Bazaar, now fonuts), Brian Moyers (BLT Steak) John-Carlos Kuramoto (Michael’s Restaurant), Dave Danhi (The Grilled Cheese Truck), Mariah Swan (Grace and BLD) and flying in from Las Vegas pastry chef Douglas Taylor (B&B).

Gourmet American Food and Drinks

The chefs will all bring tastes of MADE IN AMERICA – be it from their own recipe in the book or a classic American dish they want to share: Kobe Beef Truffle Sliders from Cecconi’s, Chocolate Chip Cookies from Providence, Grilled Cheese, Doughnuts, Pizza, Cobb Salad, Mushroom Soup, Mac n Cheese – the menu is going to be out of this world and all made in America.  Rick Moonen Lobster Rolls, David Levevre MB Post Heirloom Tomato Salad with Lemon Ricotta, LA Mill iced coffee and Dark and Stormy cocktails were highlights of previous trips – the chefs don’t disappoint when it comes to the delicacies they bring aboard for all to enjoy. Matt Biancaniello from the Library Bar at the Roosevelt Hotel will be coming aboard to mix us all some farmers’ market inspired cocktails – last time he brought most of the market with him and set up a bar, I’m still dreaming about the passion fruit prosecco concoction that went straight to my head. Cheers Matt for braving the high seas once more.

The Book

With 100 great chefs from around the country MADE IN AMERICA brings the sophistication of these giants into the home without the usual level of difficulty associated with restaurant recipes. Each recipe is accompanied by full color photography by me, as well as an introduction to the chef, their restaurant and the history of classic American food.

Always chasing rainbows 🌈 woke up to this odd l Always chasing rainbows 🌈 woke up to this odd light and thought if the sun just came up and it’s raining there must be a rainbow 🌈 and sure enough there it is! New administration and a new day for America and the world #GoJoe #GoKamala #MadameVicePresident
I lingered round them, under that benign sky; watc I lingered round them, under that benign sky; watched the moths fluttering among the heath and harebells; listened to the soft wind breathing through the grass; and wondered how anyone could ever imagine unquiet slumbers, for the sleepers in that quiet earth.  #WutheringHeights #EmilyBronte the in between - How it started How it ended - bedroom monochromatic light at 7am this morning to 7pm tonight and cocktail time with Tink gin and @david_austin_roses post parents evening and then in the middle I went on a walk with @chloescotland - actually it was an adventure to find the prettiest 13th century church with a moat and a graveyard filled with snowdrops and the tiniest grave - a child? And headstones that were leaning over - I thought tipsy Chloe thought giving up and I was reminded of the Brontë passage about #unquietslumbers #ghostsinmygarden swop harebells for snowdrops - the peace and quiet of a tiny graveyard with a moat and lopsided headstones and peace and quiet - a moment of calm and hope as the #inauguration looms large and as we keep to the rules of lockdown #stayhome #staysafe
Anxiety levels have been high these last few weeks Anxiety levels have been high these last few weeks and just when you think it can’t get any worse it does - Covid levels rising and hospitals dealing with record numbers of very unwell patients, a third lockdown and schools going online and exams cancelled, then there was the runoff in Georgia 💙 overshadowed by the insurrection in D.C. which led to the swift impeachment (again), there’s the excitement of Joe Biden’s inauguration that is being sucked away by the pandemic, the rise of white supremacy with troops guarding the Capitol and ever present fear.  But through it all we have to have hope - for the vaccine, for the teachers helping our kids learn online, for the nurses and doctors working against the odds, for M&S and Ocado deliveries,for a new administration, for arrests of violent rioters, for congress doing its job and for decency to be about to be sworn in.  It’s a lot and we all struggle daily to keep our heads above water.  On a personal level I find painting helps, as do walks in nature and family suppers, I’m wearing pretty dresses, silk underwear and wrapping myself in soft cashmere and yes I’m consuming more champagne than I usually do - if not now then when?  #Lockdown #Stayhome #staysafe #EnglishCountryHouse #EnglishCountryside
#snowdrops went for a walk to search for snowdrops #snowdrops went for a walk to search for snowdrops today - last year the lawn was carpeted in white, this year nothing.  Maybe they are late? Painted a small bunch #oilpaint #flowerpainting #snowdroppainting a sign of #spring I chickened out of painting the tiny glass jug that was a Christmas present - not sure I know how to paint that aqua colour - help!  #EnglishCountryhouse #EnglishCountryGarden #englishcountryside #Lockdown #Staysafe #stayhome
Frosted primroses #oilpainting sketch #sundaysketc Frosted primroses #oilpainting sketch #sundaysketch - we haven’t had snow but this magical frozen landscape is a beautiful alternative - painting again because that’s what got me through the last lockdown #painting #Englishcountryhouse #Englishcountryside #frost #ice #lockdown #staysafe #stayhome
