We’re back for our monthly FPP Culinary Academy this Thursday! (Chef Chris gets to be with his daughter on Wednesday this week and that will always come first here.) We’re going to cook one of Chris’ childhood family staple dishes, an incredible Pasta Puttanesca (I had to look it up). In addition to giving you a new recipe to try at home right now, we’ll share some real life as Chris’ role as Global Director of Culinary for Sodexo was recently eliminated. We’ll talk hope, challenge and opportunity while we cook together.

Chef Scott McCarthy is a native of New Orleans transplanted to beautiful San Francisco and now Corporate Chef for Inform Marketing Group. He brings his southern pallet to our monthly Culinary Academy and teaches us how to make Spanish Paella!

Kristin Alpine, owner of Wildflowers & Fresh Food in Fairhope, Alabama, keeps it simple and helps people overcome their fear of cooking with simple and healthy meals. A caterer and an educator, she’ll help you use all of your senses to appreciate how good food can enhance your event or dinner wit your family.

We have some amazing culinary pros in our Foodservice Powerplant Community! With many of us spending more time at home, why not learn from our culinary brain trust and pick up some new recipes and culinary skilz? You’ll have a blast joining George Van Riper of Eaton Marketing and I cook “Easy Steak Marsala”. Grab some ingredients, prepare to laugh and…make sure your hood is turned on. ????
