Where: Sunset Foods Lake Forest Cooking Studio

Sunset Foods is proud to announce that on Thursday, February 26th, slow-cooking experts and mindful living authorities Meg Barnhart and Jane McKay will be hosting a cooking demonstration and tasting at its Lake Forest Cooking Studio. This delicious, informative, and one-of-a-kind event will give guests the chance to learn how to prepare a variety of dishes and to meet family mealtime challenges with ease.

Meg Barnhart and Jane McKay are the co-creators of The Zen of Slow Cooking (www.thezenofslowcooking.com). Both Meg and Jane are extremely passionate about food and about finding ways to fit delicious and inspired homemade dishes into a busy lifestyle. Meg began her career in hospitality and event-planning, but now devotes much of her time to experimenting with new flavors in the kitchen and to crafting unique and flavorful artisan spice blends. Jane works as a freelance copywriter for a number of food-related businesses and spends a great deal of time working in her community garden. Jane is also a passionate traveler and loves to find culinary inspiration abroad.

Though the slow-cooker may seem somewhat at odds with the hectic pace of contemporary life, it’s actually one of the most versatile and most useful appliances in the kitchen. In fact, learning how to use a slow-cooker properly makes it much easier for people to fit wholesome homemade meals back into their schedules. New-Fashioned Slow Cooking is perfect for anyone who hasn’t dusted of their slow-cooker in a while as well as for anyone who appreciates great food and a peaceful lifestyle.

The menu for New-Fashioned Slow-Cooking includes “overnight prep” Italian beef, an adaptation of Ina Garten’s mushroom and leek bread pudding, and decadent pots de crème. Guests will also receive a complimentary glass of wine during this relaxing event and will take home recipes for all of the items prepared during the demonstration. This is one event that any food lover definitely won’t want to miss.
