Healthy Smokin Cooking Demonstration with Chef Sheridan

Smoking foods on your barbecue at home can get your belly rumbling quite easy, but can you do it?
I see it as almost of a staple of summer- the smell that carries from miles away, and you bet im gonna come a runnin when I smell the hickory smoke. Oh boY!

I led  a cooking demonstration at Taste of Edmonton on July 19th to teach 10 participants the easy ways to smoke foods on your barbecue at home. I also placed a large emphasis on the ingredients we choose; whether it be your cut of meat or if you are in a toss up between fresh lemon juice or that bottled lemon garrrrbage.
Consider your side dishes, do they match well, and together are they providing you with a complete balanced meal? Hmmmmm? Hope so, cause its pretty damn easy!

We demo'd a recipe from my cookbook "Healthy Family Recipes" the mighty Redneck Ribs
Each cook had the oppertunity to design their own sauce and smoking flavour for a full rack of pork back ribs. Pork ribs were provided by local "Irving's Farm"

Fireplace Stove World was generous enough to sponsor the event by providing 3 traegar barbecues for us to cook and smoke our ribs on. Thanks for coming out Tammie!

Another hit for this Chef.

Thank you to everyone who came out and supported!

You have to be straight off your rocker not to fall in love with this one. I used quail eggs from a local quail farm "Bryconn developments"combined smoked bacon, spinach and a crisp croissant to lay it all together.

We prepped 200 of each of these recipes to serve to our guests.

I thought it would be fun to lighten the load by having my own jelly bean raffle to win a signed copy of my cookbook. Can you guess how many beans?

 I wasn't even close, sure glad I didnt have to count those. Thaaaanks Nikki :D

Good times with some great people! See ya next Year!

Chef Sheridannnnnnnnnn

From the ground up!

 

How many times can you find yourself eating something with ingredients you cant pronounce, never heard of or don’t  wanna know what they really are?
Kinda scary but that’s just the she goes sometimes………… but not every time and not in my kitchen!

 

 

 

Chef Sheridan is working FRESH- From the ground up.

Stop wasting time with concentrates, dried preserved powders and all those other BS shortcuts.
Come on, let’s  make some real food with real ingredients already Freddy!

Chef Sheridan from the ground up baby!

You should try one of these dinner parties

Appy parties are too legit to quit

My latest appetizer Party was for Bernie who was throwing his wife a 50th birthday celebration with friends and family at his home in St. Albert with an outdoor/indoor setting.
Bernie had close to 60 guests in through his home during the evening, who were intrigued to watch a chef at work creating bite size glory.

I made 350 hors deouvres composed of 5 different recipes, and choosing a favorite might take you a couple taste tests.
Later into the night my team and I assisted with serving birthday cake, cleaned up the kitchen and packed up.

Can you imagine not having to clean up after a busy night in your home like this, having your guests impressed with your provided food, have everyone leave not hungry and all for a reasonable price. Sounds too legit to quit.

Check out my appetizer parties on my website and see some more wicked cool photos.

Mocha-panacotta-cocoa

Say hello to this gem from my latest dinner party. The Mochapanacottacocoa, if that wasnt fun enough to say twice.
This was the final course of 5 for Sue and her 13 guests, who gathered to celebrate her husbands birthday.
We have a mocha flavored velvet smooth panacotta, with a warm chocolate roll and Sambuca strawberries. Light,  simple and fun as hell to eat. Got some mad compliments on this one!

Privileged to work on their mega stove- a gas Wolfe (doesn't get much better than that)

Dinner Parties are blowin up, dont be 2000 & late taking your special guests to restaurants no more. Really impress with multiple course in your own home with yours truly.

Here fishy fishy

An amazing experience being out in Shearwater British Columbia with Central Coast Adventures on a super cool fishing trip with the boys!

Just going crazy, pulling out chinook salmon, dungeness crab, spot prawns, lingCod, and red snapper from the deep deep.
One of the first times I was actually able to catch, clean and cook my meal all in one day. Sure makes for one happy chef!

Back at the lodge I even had the chance to play around with these salt water beauties. Im talkin about some cedar smoked Dijon sugar salmon and Beer battered crab legs! LEGIT!
But after a couple upchucks far out on the ocean this land lover was ready to header back to the prairies of Alberta.

CHef Sheridan......YYAAAAAAARRRR Metis

Lots to come this smokin summer 2013 stay tuned

Sunshine, booze, and Patio food!

It blows my mind how we can change so much with the season. Not a month ago I was tangled in blankets, heat cranked, craving nothing more than a nice rich chicken stew and Stanly park ale.
The times have changed my friend, I wanna get my butt outside soak up some sun and feast on somethin crisp and cool.

 I feel more naturally inclined to make healthier choices this time of year. Not because I know Im gonna have half the clothes on, or because i'll be rockin no shirt behind the boat.- But simply because those light, simple fresh ingredients are just the way to go this time of year. I can feel content and satisfied with a salad for a meal just so long as its done right.

 

Im talkin about goat cheese, red onion, crisp greens, walnuts, pumpkin seeds (ya whatever!) and a nice white balsamic vin.

YOLO MOFO

Sorry this Babe isn't in the book, but maybe i'll write another one.

Black N Yellow whaaa?!

Black Beans and Banana can be the best of friends if you give them the right room to play in- So then this soup must be some kinda mega jungle gym!

Start your soup with onion, fennel and a splash of sambucca to  get this party going and gradually add and puree your beans.
This soup was used in my latest dinner party, and to match the theme and tone of the menu I added a fresh halved vanilla bean to the broth in the last simmering minutes. A beauty smooth velvet finish on a bangin soup.
You can find this one in my cooooooookbooooooookk.
