READ MORE ABOUT:
Vegetables can be a great source of inspiration. There is always something seasonal to take advantage of. But what happens when you come across a bumper crop of heirloom tomatoes, or that local asparagus has just hit the stand and you just don't know what to do with it?
Today we'll meet Ray. He's been in produce for years. He knows everything there is to know about produce...except how to cook it.
We'll help Ray change all that by teaching him how to make and Asparagus Flan with Chive Oil, a delicious Tomato Tart, an Asian inspired Lettuce Soup and Emeril?s version of Strawberries Romanoff.
TIPS:
- High in Lycopene, tomatoes have been shows to reduce the risk of heart disease and many cancers such as pancreatic, prostate and gastric cancer.
- Wash your strawberries before you hull them to keep them from tasting watery.
