Ultimate Philly

Hey friends,

Don't get me wrong, I love grabbing a cheesesteak. But making one at home? That's where the fun starts.

This version is stacked with tender steak, caramelized onions, peppers, kale, and pepperoncinis, then drenched in a silky pepper jack béchamel that takes the whole thing over the top. It's rich, melty, and exactly what you want in a cheesesteak.

A few easy tricks make all the difference, and once you've made it yourself, you'll wonder why you waited so long. Give it a try!

Speaking of cooking together, I'm also excited to invite you to join me in Liguria, Italy, next May. We'll spend a week exploring the Italian Riviera through its incredible food, local markets, hands-on cooking, and unforgettable meals. If you've ever dreamed of experiencing Italy beyond the tourist spots, I'd love to have you there. Reserve your spot using the Homemade registration link to get early bird pricing. Space is limited!

Reserve Your Spot!

Lastly, we’ve got two classes this week that are made for summer entertaining plus TWO giveaways! First up is American Lamb Burger Board, packed with burger-building inspiration, followed by Potato Salad 101, where we'll make four completely different versions of the cookout classic. Join us in the kitchen!

Upcoming Schedule

Tuesday 6/30 at 4:00pm PT

American Lamb Burger Board (~50min)
This party ready spread gives guests tons of burger-building options. Juicy, herb-studded American Lamb burger patties are the star, and around them lies a bounty of burger toppings, some fresh, some creamy, some really classic, and others a little surprising (hello, hot honey!). There’s something for everyone, from picky kids to flavor-chasing foodies.

Giveaway Alert! American Lamb is giving away 5 lbs. of ground lamb to one lucky winner! All you have to do is register and attend the free class and you are entered.

Wednesday 7/1 at 4:00pm PT

Potato Salad 101 (~50min)
Four potato salads, four completely different personalities. This class is all about how technique, seasoning, and dressing can transform the same humble ingredient. We'll start with a foolproof method for perfectly cooked potatoes, then build four classic styles side by side: classic American, bright Sicilian, creamy-crunchy Japanese, and warm, savory German. Bring one to a backyard barbecue, make a double batch for the neighborhood potluck, or serve all four together for the ultimate summer buffet. However you serve them, you'll leave with a recipe for every occasion, and the know-how to riff on your own.
