Chef Lou Reda from An American Grill, 246 Route 10 West, Randolph invited me to join him on his TV show "Class In Cooking." It will air on Friday nights, 7 PM on Channel 21, Morris County Cable Vision starting (Lou thinks) June 27, skipping July 4th and then on the following three Friday nights. I had so much fun watching Chef Lou cook and asking him questions. Of course I was able to have all of the scrumptious food after we taped the show which was a treat. :smile:

Chef Lou started with making homemade pasta (what could be better?) and demonstrated how to use a machine from Italy that rolls the dough out thin and then cuts it into different shapes. He made tagliatelle and spaghettini. Then Chef Mario made the sauces. Yummm!! The sauce for the tagliatelle contained scallops, arugula, yellow beefsteak tomatoes, cherry tomatoes, garlic, red onion and shaved parmesean with a white wine sauce. The next sauce consisted of carrots, scallions, pine nuts, portobello, baby shiitake, and porcini mushrooms. Chef Lou finished this dish off with shaved Italian black truffle. Both pastas were fabulous. And of course you need wine to go with these dishes. Chef Lou paired them with a Chateau Ste. Michelle, Dr. Loosen Eroica Riesling and Ferrari-Carano 2002 Fume Blanc from Sonoma.

An American Grill is open for lunch Monday through Friday 11:30 to 4 PM; Dinner Monday through Friday 4 to 10 PM; Saturday 4 to 10:30 PM; and Sunday 1 to 9 PM. Call 973-442-9311 for reservations.

rosie, do they have you standing on a milk crate?  or do the camera men just keep panning up and down.  lou is almost freakishly tall, and you, well, you're not, that's for sure.  :raz:

I wore my highest heels and still looked like I was standing in a hole. I did ask for a stool and they all ignored me. Well--the camera man did give me a funny look when I told Chef Lou to get on his knees so I wouldn't look so short! :rolleyes:

Lou-- just noticed your quote of Mike Barnicle at the bottom of your messages....  love it!  Isn't he the guy that got fired from the Boston Globe for plagiarism?

Nothing is better than frying in lard.

Nothing.  Do not quote me on this.
