THE SOCIAL TABLE

THE MENU
                                      
A few weeks ago our lovely friends at Bloomberg TV (Arty and Meredith), took us (us being my team from work) to "The Social Table."  What is the Social Table you ask? Well, straight from the website, the Social Table is...."the place where good food and fun people get together to share a meal, a glass of wine and the experience of cooking."  Its learning basic cooking fundamentals, like properly cutting an onion without slicing your fingers off, while creating a meal with fun people. The ultimate dinner party; a little wine, great  food, lots of fun combined with some culinary skills. Chef Rebecca is awesome, she's fun, down to earth  a wonderful teacher who creates an environment that is relaxed and entertaining. She taught us simple yet necessary skills for the kitchen, making sure to include everyone in all the processes. We not only cooked dinner but we learned about food, asked tons of questions and had a great deal of laughs.  Even if you don't enjoy cooking, you will have a great time at The Social Table. I highly recommend making a reservation; but reserve sooner rather than later as she is completely booked solid through, I think, April.

RECIPE: Salmon (BURGERS)

My love for food extends beyond just eating at great restaurants, I actually really enjoy cooking too. When I'm in the kitchen, I tend to lose track of time and get completely lost in the process of making delish food. In other words, I'm in my ZONE!! Fully focused!

Salmon Burgers

My latest accomplishment was salmon burgers; made with fresh salmon, not that canned crap. Figured I'd share the recipe with you....(you'll notice I don't really give you measurements; the honest reason - I have no clue how much of one thing or another I used, I just know what went in. My advice is to use your judgement and taste things for flavor. One thing to remember, with the salmon burgers, don't add to much of the other ingredients (onions, peppers, etc) it'll prevent you from being able to form patties that will stay together. Moderation is the key)

Ingredients:
Olive oil
Butter (optional)
Fresh salmon (farm raised or wild)
Onion
Peppers (any color)
Garlic
Panko bread crumbs
1 egg
Soy sauce (like a tsp, if that)
Dijon mustard (about a tbsp)
Coarse mustard
Salt and pepper
Any other seasoning you enjoy
