D\u2019lish Deviled Eggs<\/strong><\/h2>\n

My 10th<\/sup> cookbook D\u2019Lish Deviled Eggs<\/a> has HATCHED! Deviled eggs are always a party favorite and the first to fly off the table.

From the Classic Picnic-Style<\/a> to Beet’ing Heart<\/a>, there is definitely an egg recipe for everyone. Yum! One of my absolute favorite recipes from D\u2019Lish Deviled Eggs<\/em> is my \u201cCalifornia Roll\u201d Deviled Egg”<\/a>, topped with Alaska King crab \u2013 YUM!

\"VIBE<\/p>\n

Shortly right after, it was time to fly out the door again \u2013 from St. Louis to Boston and then to Las Vegas for the industry annual VIBE Conference<\/a><\/strong>! Hosted in the always faboo Las Vegas, this annual event brings in spirits industry leaders and taste makers for a jam-packed two days full of seminars, panels, presentations\u2026and of course tastings!<\/p>\n

At the opening Pour It On<\/em> reception, we teamed up with Monin<\/a> and William Grant & Sons and crafted a crowd favorite: the Berries & Brimstone <\/strong>cocktail featuring Monin\u2019s new Hickory Smoke Syrup.<\/p>\n

First, we mixed the smoke syrup with Everclear to make a flammable mist. We dropped a dry bay leaf into an Old Fashioned glass, spritzed it liberally with the mist, and flamed it to char the leaf. Then we shook up Milagro Reposado tequila and a few fresh blackberries with fresh lime and Monin Blackberry… then poured it over the flaming leaf. This process added a rich layer of flavor to the drink, balancing the sweet, tart and savory.<\/p>\n

The following day, I teamed up with my Liquid Kitchen associate D\u00e4nny Ronen<\/a> <\/strong>and bar managers\/mixologists Matt Seiter from Sancturia<\/a> <\/strong>in St. Louis and Kevin Diedrich from Jasper\u2019s Corner Tap<\/a><\/strong> in San Francisco, to present a panel on one of the hottest up-and-coming trends \u2013 Tapping Potential: Cocktails On Tap<\/strong>!<\/p>\n

\"Seminar

Kevin and Matt did a \u201clive demo\u201d on tapping a cocktail, and then Liquid Kitchen\u2019s Heather Jones <\/a>proceeded to serve over 60 cocktails in just a few minutes. The whole process from the tapping demo to serving cocktails in front of the attendees was less than 7 minutes \u2013 now that\u2019s some fast service!<\/p>\n

And to top off a great week the Fairmont Hotel\u2019s & Resort<\/a> won the VIBE Vista award<\/a><\/strong> for Best Spirits Program for Hotels, Cruise Lines, & Casinos for their FAME program (that Liquid Kitchen created and has managed since 2006) \u2013 exciting!!!<\/p>\n

Congrats to the Fairmont Hotels & Resorts for winning 2013 Best Spirits Program award!<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"Driscoll<\/p>\n

Next it was off to Driscoll’s berry farms<\/a> <\/strong>with an amazing group of top bloggers. I absolutely love berries so I was definitely in berry-licious heaven while learning a lot about berries. We got to taste new varieties of berries right in the fields and met the young \u201cDr. Strawberry\u201d who shared with us how they are constantly improving Driscoll\u2019s berry varieties \u2013 sweeeet! Check out my blog<\/a> for my tasty Billowing Strawberry Poppy Seed Layer Cake<\/strong> and Strawberry Shag Cocktail<\/strong> recipes.<\/p>\n

The next day the group headed to the annual Pebble Beach Food & Wine<\/a><\/strong>. I really enjoyed meeting and hanging out with some of my favorite bloggers like the Intoxicologist<\/a>, Blender Girl<\/a>, Food in Jars<\/a>, and Health & Wellness expert Ani Phyo<\/a> during this tasty weekend full of demos, seminars and parties!<\/p>\n

\"Rasp
\nYes, I LOVE raspberries this much!<\/strong><\/p>\n

————————————-<\/p>\n

Then it was off to Kentucky for the Beam Pinnacle of Mixology event to lead a fun Pinnacle Cocktails and Techniques Inspired from the Kitchen <\/strong>seminar. Heather Jones and I showed techniques for a \u201cnew school” Chi Chi: shaking up fresh Pineapple-Agave, Pinnacle Vodka, and fresh lime \u2013 then topped it with Coconut Milk Foam<\/a> and a \u201ccarbonated\u201d cherry<\/a> – fun!<\/p>\n

\"POM
\nPreparing for my seminar<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"Salted
\nDispensing Salted Caramel Whipped “Mochas!”<\/strong><\/p>\n

Other topics included cocktail umami like in my Garden Oasis cocktail \u2013 vodka, hand-pressed basil, celery and cucumber (celery adds a salty touch and an umami note), shaken with a lemon elixir. We garnished this with plumped basil seeds, adding a super cool texture to the cocktail.<\/p>\n

We then finished off our presentation with a cool technique I learned from Johannes Roiner, Head of Culinary Strategy at iSi<\/a>. He taught me that coffee has proteins in it and when combined with a little syrup, liquor, and ice then charged and shaken \u2013 you can have a super frothy espresso cocktail. Voila – thus the Salted Carmel Whipped Mocha!<\/p>\n

D’Lish Book Reads<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Here are some of my new favorite reads \u2013 I hope you enjoy them as much as I did!<\/p>\n

The Drunken Botanist by Amy Stewart<\/strong>
\nDo you ever stop to think about the garnishes, liqueurs and syrups you put in your favorite cocktails? Amy Stewart, author of The Drunken Botanist<\/a><\/em>, definitely has! Amy\u2019s guide to backyard bartending isn\u2019t your standard neighborhood cocktail recipe book. She has uncovered some seriously cool history on some common, and some not-so-common cocktail ingredients, such as corn and agave to barley and lemon verbena. Check out her funny promo vid<\/a>, too!<\/p>\n

\"Book<\/p>\n

The 50 Mile Bouquet by Debra Prinzing<\/strong>
\nOutdoor living specialist and author Debra Prinzing writes a great read on the slow flower movement in her latest book, The 50 Mile Bouquet<\/a><\/em>. From organic flower farmers to the hot-topic of sustainability, Debra’s book is a great guide for those with a green thumb. I love to garden and this is definitely a must-read!<\/p>\n
