Our Guest Chef was Kevin Weeks.

Show Topics Included:

  • What Kevin’s cooking tonight–perfect Italian meatballs
  • How to test and annotate recipes (for the home cook)
  • From the discussion board: quick tart from fresh fruit and frozen pie crust
  • Picnics for Father’s Day or any day
  • Chef Kevin’s suggestions for a quick fruit tart:
    Add some richness with a layer of mascarpone, cream cheese or crème anglaise
    Squeeze lemon over the fruit before popping the tart in the oven
    For extra elegance with ease, use prepared puff pastry instead of pie crust
