#TalkStew on Tout: How can we support our local food pantries?

Johanna M. Cook - Founder of Momma Cuisine February 11, 2012 Lifestyle

On Wednesday, February 8th, 2012, I co-hosted an event “Because We Care” for a local food pantry called, Loaves & Fishes Community Pantry. The event turned to be a huge success where I met my goal of raising at least $1,000 for Loaves & Fishes.

Food is obviously something that I not only enjoy, it’s a passion. My passion for food goes beyond cooking and consuming. I long to learn, grow and help with the talent that God has given me.

Knowing that during these hard economic times, many families are struggling to meet their most basic needs, I approached Jody Bender, Community Manager of Loaves & Fishes and pitched her an idea I had to help raise money for the organization.

I have known Jody through the social circles in our town, and she’s even attended some of my cooking demonstrations at Whole Foods Market. But our meeting was our first personal meeting. And it is a night I will never forget.

What’s great about “en papillote” anything is that it food steams in the casing making it light, yet elegant. You can use this method of cooking with thinly pounded chicken breasts, vegetables, Mahi-Mahi, Halibut, or in this case, Tilapia. I most favor using seafood for this kind of cooking.

{virtual cooking class} Slow Cooker Game Day Recipes w/ Chef George Duran

Johanna M. Cook - Founder of Momma Cuisine February 05, 2012 Lifestyle

On Tuesday, January 31st, TheMotherhood.com hosted a Virtual Cooking Class with Chef George Duran (@GeorgeDuranEats), and sponsored by ConAgra Foods.

Chef George talked about simple game-day recipes that can be made in the slow cooker. The slow cooker was unanimously a favorite for preparing meals for although the process “slow”, it saves tons of time in food preparation. I think many of the guests and featured guests like myself, often prepare meals in the slow cooker overnight. So the next day, viola! A fantastic and delicious home cooked meal that took hours to cook, is ready to be devoured.

{Momma Cuisine Show} Episode 5: Bella Luna Cafe & How To Make Pasta Carbonara

Johanna M. Cook - Founder of Momma Cuisine February 03, 2012 Video

I am so excited about Episode 5 of the Momma Cuisine Show, as it is my very first on location feature, highlighting Bella Luna Cafe. A huge part of why I love to cook is the almost ten years I have spent in my career in the restaurant industry. Although not concentrated in the kitchen, spending years putting on the production that is the experience of dining out has caused me to love and learn how to cook even more!

In the Momma Cuisine Show, I have decided to go around Chicago to visit local eateries, talk with local food artisans, farmers, foodies and cover local food events at least once a month. Creating Great Everyday Meals is not easy; and all of you who do it know what I mean. I believe that inspiration for home-cooked meals can come from anywhere and everywhere, so I wanted to get out there and find it.

{travel} The Costa Concordia Tragedy

Christine Potthoff February 02, 2012 Travel

Horrifying images of The Costa Concordia on her side. Statistics are showing an industry’s strong safety record. Many unanswered questions.

Like many of you, I’ve been watching the tragedy of the Costa Concordia unfold in the media over the last several weeks, and my thoughts go out to those affected. It has made me wonder how, in this day and age, with the technology, safety advances, and intense regulation of the cruise industry, this was possible.
