After two years and 97 meals, I have decided to discontinue Valentine Kitchen's weekly meals. I have loved cooking for you over the past two years, but the time has come for the next steps in my culinary career.
Over the last two years, I have learned so much cooking in a commercial, shared kitchen. I have written many recipes I am proud of and learned to cook on a large scale in a comforting and loving way. I am continually blown away by the support so many of you have shown me week after week. Your support means the world to me.
I will have three remaining meals, with my last meal being the week of April 9.
So what's next? I'm going to be a freelance recipe tester! I will be testing recipes for two upcoming cookbooks. Recipe testing will allow me to grow my ingredient repertoire and learn how other Chefs write, think, and cook. I couldn't be more excited about this next chapter.
In addition to moderating Julia Turshen's #sundayswithjulia, I will continue teaching classes at Kitchen Collage in East Village, Des Moines. I have upcoming classes on April 1 and May 6!
