Chef's Table: The Spirit of St. Louis

I’m one lucky guy. Not only do I get to do what I love - preparing, serving, writing and talking about food all day – but I really am blessed to be associated with some really great people who do the same. In addition to Jennifer and the wonderful Test Kitchen crew here at the Gilded Fork, I am also a member of the United States Personal Chef Association, a one-of-a-kind organization filled with people who love to nurture and to share of themselves. Every year, we meet for a national conference to share ideas, business strategies, and recipes. And let me tell you, these chefs can party!

This year’s conference took place in St. Louis, the Gateway City, and the theme was “Gateway to Gourmet.” Each day saw numerous sessions, most led by personal chefs offering tips and tricks from their own experience, as well as guest lectures from local restaurateurs and food experts. Some of the classes on offer: Cooking with Unusual Ingredients, Creating Fabulous Vegan Food, Personal Chef Fitness, Pressure Cooking with Grains, Kosher Cooking, Nutrition Therapy and Caribbean Flavors.
