Dear Fellow Foodies,
There are so many new products in our pantries now! Have you noticed? Agave syrup, tamarind, sriracha, kepas manis, miso, sumac, quinoa, chia seeds, meyer lemons, etc. Or maybe they are not so much "new" as they are evidence of our food evolution in the past few years. These amazing opportunities to 'up the ante' on the dishes we prepare have always been around, we just haven't been exposed to them. Enter the continued globalization of our tastebuds right? I remember 16 years ago when I started The Culinary Center of Kansas City and we were teaching you how to cook with the "new" ingredients of tofu and kosher salt. Seriously? These products are old hat to us now. Old or new, it's our job to provide the highest quality culinary education on everything from the basics to the "up and coming." It's what we do…and I do believe our team does it like no other.
See you in our kitchens,
Laura Laiben
Owner and "Main Dish"
Requests For Donations
It takes all kinds of ingredients to make a good dish really great. The same rings true for the effort it takes by so many people to serve the needs in the community in which we live. Your work is important and we would like nothing better than to say "yes" to every donation request that comes in our door (and we DO receive a lot of them!) While we really try to do our fair share of donating to this community effort, we are a small company and aren't able to help in every case. We would be happy to consider your donation request based on the following. Thanks for thinking of us and considering our products and services worthy of your request for donation.
Sincerely,
LL
