Chef Tonne mobilizes for Luxury Home Magazine...prepares for 200 people

I received a call from a frantic young lady on Thursday, fresh back from my trip to Fort Hood; I was ready to wrap up the holiday season and put my ladle to rest until next year.... well not so fast.  Luxury Home Magazine found themselves in a pickle when the event planner and caterer backed out , I had 24 hours to come up with a Eco friendly menu, that did not require alot of preparation and would not ruin a 5 million dollar home in Highland Park.  Oh did I mention Grey Goose was  highlighting their new pear vodka and the menu must achieve a balance for the pal-lats for the 200 high profile guest?  Brittanie was such a delight and she remained calm;after a brief meditation I came up with the following menu.
Smoked meat tray with chicken, beef, shrimp and a garlic ginger spread/ side of wheat baguettes
De veiled eggs with red salmon caviar
Antipasto party tray - kalamata olives. marinated artichokes, red peppers, and stuffed grape leaves
Gorgonzola cheese with walnuts, cranberries and fresh parsley served with water crackers.
Cheese cake brownies bites
This event turned out to be success and I have even received phone calls from local realtor's and other potential clients.  You can check me out in the upcoming issue of Luxury Home Magazine in late January....http://www.luxuryhomemagazine.com/dallas/index.cfm!  Until Next time Chow-Baby!

Bread-Not All What It’s Baked up to be!


If you buy baked goods such as breads, pastries, pastas, and deserts look for the U, UD, K or  on the package and if it does have any these symbols.    The main ingredient used in baked goods that is not Kosher, L - Cysteine which is made from human hair, and is used as a dough conditioner in bakery products. These ingredient derived from human hair is mainly made in Japan and China, which is made from the wheat we ship overseas and then in return it’s processed without FDA regulation or over-site; China/Japan in return sell back to US at a reduced cost.  The end result of this…. Americans are eating human hair!

I challenge you to think about this, the next time you go eat pizza with hand tossed dough, thin crust, and bread sticks from Pizza Hut, Domino's,  and bread from Subway and Jason’s Deli, be warned the bread dough contains L-Cysteine, and the shredded cheese contains cellulose to prevent caking which is derived from pig gelatin.

Good News! We have found Natures Own Bread 100% whole wheat contains no L-Cysteine, unfortunately for the cost conscious, this bread retails for $2.89, however you can purchase the bread at the local bread outlet store located in Grand Prairie, TX for approximately .89 cents a loaf.  Kroger also has prepackaged pastries with the Kosher U symbol, which contains no L-Cysteine and of course our favorite, Costco has a Kosher make your own pizza crust, and animal rennent free cheese.    Until next time Chow-Baby!
