Chef Aaron Bludorn

 

Chef Aaron Bludorn has recently celebrated the two-year anniversary of his eponymous restaurant and semi-finalist James Beard nomination for Best New Chef in Texas. Aaron made his way to Texas after working for five years as Executive Chef for the beloved Café Boulud in New York City. In 2017, Bludorn was approached by Netflix to be cast in their upcoming blockbuster culinary competition show, The Final Table. For six weeks, Aaron along with his girlfriend and now wife, Victoria Pappas Bludorn, filmed the series in Los Angeles. That same year, Aaron was recognized by Star Chefs as New York City’s Rising Star Community Chef. Aaron and Victoria married shortly thereafter in 2018 and remained in New York where Aaron continued to work at Café Boulud. His culinary passion and drive fueled his dream to open his own restaurant, so in 2019, the Bludorns’ made the joint decision to return to Victoria’s hometown of Houston, Texas to open his first solo venture. Aaron’s experience and vision worked to crescendo the creation of Bludorn where he injects his flair into French-inspired Gulf coast cuisine showcasing the region’s bounty using local ingredients and purveyors. With an emphasis on service, Bludorn provides a relaxed yet sophisticated ambiance where guests can experience fine dining, excellent wine, and an inviting atmosphere to liaise among family and friends. In the fall of 2022, Chef Aaron opened his second restaurant, Navy Blue, a modern American seafood concept that pays homage to the gems of the Texas Gulf Coast.

Green Goddess Dip

Create a Green Goddess Dip:

• 1 cup of greens. Choose a combination of your favorite greens such as dill, mint, parsley, basil, chives, watercress or cilantro.
  
• 1-2 garlic cloves, chopped
• 2 scallions, white and green parts, sliced
• 1 ½ tablespoons freshly squeezed lemon juice
•  Pinch kosher salt, more to taste
• 1/3 cup extra virgin olive oil
• ½ cup crumbled feta cheese, optional
• ½ cup Créme Fraiche, Sour Cream, or Plain Greek Yogurt
• ¼ cup mayonnaise, optional

If you are dairy intolerant, sub soft tofu for the cheese and yogurt and add the traditional anchovy or tsp of fish sauce. The anchovy replaces the tang of the fermented dairy items.

1. Place greens, garlic, scallions, lemon juice and salt in a food processor and process until finely chopped.
2. With the motor running, drizzle in the olive oil until incorporated. Add feta and process until smooth; pulse in yogurt. Taste dip and add more salt, if desired. If you like a creamier, richer dip, add mayonnaise and pulse to combine.
3. Serve dip immediately or cover and store in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.

Of all the memorable loaves of bread that have come from the Culinary Vegetable Institute kitchen, no other has been so widely beloved as Dario's Focaccia. It is a gratifying marriage of crispy crust, chewy crumb, and incredible aroma. Loaves are easy to produce and even easier to consume.

The dry mix contained in this box will make a versatile dough that takes well to topping both prior and post-baking. As a result, it can be as expressive as you are willing to be. It shapes well into rustic batards and stretches beautifully for something closer to ciabatta. It will also work well for pan and wood-fired type pizzas.

Of course, and most easily of all, this dry mix will produce Dario's Focaccia.

Meet Chef Dario

Chef Dario Torres first learned cooking skills from his grandmother who took care of him and his sister until he was fourteen while their parents worked to offer their children a better life. Even though he enjoyed cooking, he wasn't sure he wanted to be a chef. He had dreams of becoming a scientist or an engineer because of his love of science and math until he caught an episode of Master Chef on The Discovery Channel and his whole world was turned upside down.

Treat your dog to a chewy, wholesome nutritional snack made from 100% all natural, dried pumpkins and/or sweet potatoes.  

Our team saves pumpkins and sweet potatoes that might have a blemished spot or a bit of bad skin—or otherwise don’t make the grade for our chefs and home cooks. We carefully clean each one before slicing, steaming, and drying.

The result is a chewy, dense, delicious dog treat that varies in size.
