As promised, here is the recipe for the dish from last weekend’s cooking demo at Williams-Sonoma. I recently made this dish for a couple private client events, and everyone raved about it.

updates, and a message for spring

sunday funday: taco + margarita bar

On a beach picnic with a basket of cheeses and baguette. On a rooftop. On a yacht! Anytime the weather is gorgeous and you’re able [...]
