Craig Case, host of The Inn Crowd, and Chef Michael Hutchings welcomes Ginni and Chad Dreier to The Inn Crowd cooking show. The Dreiers opened up their "beach house" for taping the show. Foley Family Wines is our winery sponsor and provides wines from their vast portfolio. The Dreiers are generous philanthropists in Santa Barbara and support some of our most beloved institutions such as the Santa Barbara Zoo, The Natural History Museum and the Santa Barbara Bowl.
We prepared a three course meal. The starter is an Italian sea bass called branzino that was topped with an herb crust, baked and complimented by a red pepper puree and fresh asparagus. Chad is fond of beef tenderloin so the main course is a tenderloin steak set on an Anna potato with a goulash-like paprika sauce. To finish, we prepared a lemon curd ice cream the old fashioned way and garnished it with almond "tuiles."
Put on your apron, grab your food processor and hang on to your whisk. I'll provide the recipes, the rest is up to you. See you in the kitchen.
Tastefully,
Chef Michael Hutchings
