On the Lakeside Table blog, youโll find a range of recipes designed to help you explore the art of French cooking, create family-friendly and gluten-free recipes, and even join interactive cooking experiences. Whether youโre looking for tested recipes, personalized cooking classes, or brand collaborations, weโve got something for everyone.
French Cooking Techniques
At Lakeside Table, French culinary techniques are at the heart of everything I do. After studying at the prestigious Escoffier School of Culinary Arts, Iโve developed a deep love and understanding of classic French techniques and have incorporated them into many of the recipes I share. It's my hope that these recipes will help you master the perfect roux and understand a variety of sauces. You will learn skills that are key to French cooking. I will also show you how to adapt these skills to modern tastes. Many of my family members, like my husband Jerry, are gluten intolerant. Because of this, many of my recipes are gluten-free or have gluten-free options.
Family Favorite Recipes
Looking for new family dinner ideas? Youโll find a selection of family-friendly recipes on Lakeside Table that are both simple and delicious. These are the kinds of dishes I love to cook for my own familyโcomforting, easy to prepare, and packed with flavor. From hearty stews to light salads, every recipe is tested and guaranteed to be a hit at your table. I believe that cooking for loved ones should be fun, and I aim to share recipes that make mealtime easy and stress-free.
Gluten-Free Recipes
As someone who is passionate about creating delicious and accessible recipes, I focus on providing gluten-free recipes that do not sacrifice flavor or texture. Whether you have dietary restrictions or simply prefer gluten-free options, youโll find a range of recipes on this blogโfrom French classics to modern twistsโmade with gluten-free ingredients. Every recipe is carefully tested to ensure it works just as beautifully as traditional versions, so you can enjoy great food without worry.
Zoom Cooking Classes
Want to learn French cooking techniques or improve your skills from the comfort of your home? Lakeside Table offers Zoom cooking classes for individuals or small groups. These virtual classes are a fun, interactive way to learn at your own pace and ask questions as you cook along. Whether you want to master a French dish, create a gluten-free meal, or learn specific techniques, these classes are personalized to your needs and skill level.
Pop-Up Chef Dinners
For those in the local Effingham area, I host an occasional Wheat Penny Chef Event that brings the essence of French and Mediterranean cuisine straight to your table. These exclusive, one-time events feature a curated menu inspired by French cooking, designed for small groups of food lovers. Itโs a wonderful way to enjoy a unique, hands-on culinary experience without leaving the neighborhood.
In-Person Cooking Classes
If you prefer a more personal, face-to-face experience, I also offer in-person cooking classes. These can be arranged for small groups and are perfect for anyone looking to learn new skills, whether itโs perfecting the perfect popover, pasta, or creating an entire gluten-free menu. Classes are tailored to your interests, so you can choose the cuisine, techniques, or dishes you want to explore. Itโs an immersive way to grow as a cook and gain the confidence to take on new challenges in your own kitchen.
