With holiday entertaining at it’s peak what could be better than another Cuisinart and urbanmoms.ca Kitchen Party and tips from our fave lovable Chef Ezra Title of Chez Vous Dining! It was our final Kitchen Party of 2007 and definitely one of the best. This diverse group of Toronto women were definitely keen to hear Chef Ezra’s tips and were thrilled to learn more about how Cuisinart can help. They were engaged and engaging…what a great group!

Here’s Chef Ezra doing his thing:
Can you guess what this is? It was the main ingredient of our first dish…
My guess (and a few others) was ginger, but nope. It’s a Jerusalem Artichoke…who knew?! And it was found in our yummy Jerusalem Artichoke Soup.
Of course, I absolutely LOVE Ezra’s mini fajitas with avocado puree but nothing can beat the sweet potato shepherd’s pie with short ribs cooked in the pressure cooker. This thing is awesome! It speeds up cooking time by up to 70% and man were those things tender. And who knew that the sweet potatoes would add so much to the dish! Here is urbanmoms.ca’s Agathe serving it up.
Then, DESSERT! A molten chocolate cake…delicious. Need I say more…
And finally, what has become a bit of a Kitchen Party tradition, the guests get to get up close and personal with Chef Ezra for our group picture. Thanks to the guests, Chef Ezra, and our friends at Cuisinart for a fabulous final Kitchen Party! Have a wonderful Holiday and a Happy New Year!
Thanks for sharing. I am so keen on the Sweet potato shepherd’s pie. I can’t wait to try it out!
