Emulsion Blender


Making creamy soups is so much easier with an emulsion blender.  One pot and done!  Also known as a stick blender or hand blender.  Because it is compact and cleans easily it is perfect for small mixing projects like French toast custard or whipping cream.  This particular model is inexpensive and comes with a couple of useful attachment.  It costs about $60.

Guacamole

This is my simple guacamole recipe that I made with my awesome "culinary" students, aka my good friends Sara and Liz.     Ingredients: 3-4  Ripe Avocados (depends on the size) 1/2 - 3/4 cup fresh salsa 1/4 Cup cilantro Juice of 1 small lime Salt to taste Pit and peel avocados.

Place green in a large bowl and add strawberries, nuts and cheese.  Dress with vinaigrette (recipe below) and mix gently, but thoroughly.     In the winter,  I like to add caramelized red onions.  I have also sugar coated the walnuts.
