COOKING  FOR  THE  BOYS  LIVE  

Welcome  Home  “Whenever  we’re  together  that’s  my  home”      

You’re  my  Home,  Billy  Joel

         Cooking  is  a  passion  but  the  fires  for  that  passion  are  not  easily  stoked.      Like  many  of  my  non-­‐paying  hobbies,  I  need  proper  motivation  or  atmosphere  in  order  for  the  creative  side  of  my  passion  to  show  itself.    This  motivation

has  shown  itself  in  the  form  of  exercise.    While  I  train  for  another  hobby,  Triathlons,  I  find  myself  with  energy  that  needs  to  be  used  for  more  than  just  watching  Netflix.    So  here  we  go!

A  quick  look  at  one  of  my  favorite  dishes  from  past  episodes  

A  new  series  of  cooking  videos  from  Chef  Mick  starts  in  May  

HINT:  2009  was  a  great  year  for  California  Red  wines.  

HOTEL COOKING SERIES:

The new video series from Chef Mick will focus on meals that can be fully prepared in a hotel kitchen. Working from The Residence Inn, with a two burner electric stove top and a standard microwave oven, Chef Mick will demonstrate the techniques and shortcuts of cooking great homemade meals while on the road.

  Warm Pizza Margherita Salad Croutons—store bought or homemade

Tomatoes—Grape, Cherry or your favorite type

Mozzarella

Basil—fresh is best

Extra Virgin Olive Oil

Salt and Pepper to Taste

Preheat Oven to 350*

In an Oven Safe dish, place halved grape or cherry tomatoes or sliced tomatoes, sliced mozzarella and basil (torn or cut in a chiffonade style).

Drizzle in enough Olive Oil to coat the ingredients. Season with salt and pepper.

Place the dish into the Oven for about 15 minutes, until the mozzarella begins to melt.

Remove from oven and top with Croutons, place back into oven for about 5 more minutes just to heat the Croutons through.

Now serve to your guest while it is still warm. (There will still be plenty of oil at the bottom of the dish so please be careful while serving)

Enjoy, Chef Mick
