I was really happy to receive an invitation to go to a lunch time event by Kitchen Aid at the Storys Building recently.  First, I had never been to the Storys building and wanted to check it out and most importantly I own and love KitchenAid small appliances and I am always interested in seeing what's new on the market so that I can plan my dream kitchen.

The always fun Chef Corbin Tomaszwski was on hand to do a hands on demo where he showed how KitchenAid innovations help in the kitchen from start to finish.  He did a demo of fresh pasta made using a KitchenAid stand mixer with a pasta attachment with pan seared Salmon cooked on the KitchenAid stove.   As you can see from the photo below I helped zest an orange for the marinade for the Salmon.  There were a lot of Kitchen, Lifestyle and Home experts in attendance so I was honoured to be included with them.

We got to see some of the Kitchen Aid appliances in action and learn about some of the innovative features.  KitchenAid stand mixers may seem expensive but the value comes in all the amazing attachments you can add instead of buying a lot more appliances.  You can make pasta, juice, grind, and one of the coolest attachments is the vegetable sheet cutter.  You can make thin strips on zucchini to make zucchini pasta or lasagna with it.

The Fridge has the touch window front and a double door so you can open things you use frequently without opening the whole fridge.  The appliances are all sleek clean and attractive so they really make your kitchen look great while being super functional.  My pet peeve is design without good function.  That's just art and not design.

After the demos we sat down to a lunch prepared with the techniques shown in the demo.  The lunch main was a citrus marinated pan seared salmon with fresh pasta and Kale.  Some people attended a breakfast session and had different treats.
As you can see from the photo above there were also pastries for dessert and an Ice cream that was made using the KitchenAid stand mixer with the Ice Cream maker attachment.

It was a quick and well organized lunch and I enjoyed it very much.  If you are planning your dream home I encourage you to look at KitchenAid appliances to make your kitchen sparkle and your cooking easier and more fun.

LG presents Chuck's Bites with Chef Chuck Hughes

Chef Chuck Hughes

Montreal Chef Chuck Hughes was in Toronto for LG presents Chuck's Bites to show off a bit of his mom's easy Tomato Pie recipe and his partnership with LG Canada's new Kitchen Appliances.  In an intimate studio setting he met with small groups of food and lifestyle writers and showed how easy it is to make an easy pie using phyllo pastry and some fresh tomatoes and cheese.  It literally took him 10 minutes to put together.

But aside from the fantastic recipe demo he was there to talk about the appliances.  Unfortunately our group only got a few tips of what he likes about the appliances from the childproof lock on the oven to the see inside door of the fridge.  I have included more details that were provided below.  I can tell you that they are beautiful appliances that I wish I could have in my apartment and if I had the money when I was living in a house I would have bought them for sure.

I have seen Chuck so many times that it was more of a catch up on what's going on in his life with his growing family,  he has 2 young boys now and he also has a couple of new shows he has been working on that he hopes get released in Canada.  One with his fellow chef and friend Danny Smiles. They travel around the world and stay at campsites and cook up meals with local chefs.

Chuck owns 2 restaurants in Montreal about 15 minutes away from each other,  Garde Manger and Le Bremner.  He doesn't have plans to open any more restaurants in the future but I was hoping he would open one in Toronto as I have yet to visit his restaurants in Toronto but luckily he does a lot of cooking demos in Toronto so hopefully you can attend one soon.
