New Classes…

October 22, 2010 Chef Bill's Blog

So, what have I been up to lately?  Well, besides cooking a lot (always a good sign), I’ve been spending quality time with my laptop, working on spreadsheets and proposals.  For what, you might ask?  Cooking classes.  I’m putting together ideas for my Stonewall Kitchen classes for after the New Year.  Yeah, I know.  It’ll [...]

June 10, 2010 Chef Bill's Blog

This was a good cooking night.  Actually, a great one.  With summer almost here, and rain definitely here, it was time to put on the foul weather gear and do some grilling.  It was a fun dinner, with 6 guests. I stared with guacamole and salsa and chips (Yes, I made them. Okay, I lied.  [...]
