But once a year, and only once a year, I do go out and pretend to chef it up, but that is only for a good cause. This year, the date is June 4th and I will play host to about 80 people in our back yard and make food for a good cause.

This year, there are 10 appetizers as follows:

Pallet Cleanser: Lemonchello
App1 Water Crest/Apple Soup
App2 BBQ Pork Ribs
App3 Brown Rice with Shroom
App4 Seaweed Edamame Toss
App5 Lamb phillo
App6 Ultimate Mix with Bacon and Green Tea vinaigrette
App7 Lobster Mouse
App8 Shrimp Tarts
App9 Beef Carpaccio
App10 Cured Trout  (not firm on it yet, it may be swapped out)

Once we are done with the apps, we will serve the main, keeping it simple this year, there are 3 items, a vegetarian cous cous,  paella and pork. Then we wrap up with dessert

Last year we raised almost 5K to cancer research, I hope to break that number this year. I have already raises 3K, so I am close

There are so many good causes in the world, the need is great. I tend to support 3 charities, one is the Cancer Relay for Life, one is The Christmas Exchange, and The United Way. In June I chef it up for cancer. You can support my cause by going to http://convio.cancer.ca/goto/sforzley

What cause do you support?

                          

A bit over the top, and that’s is exactly what is needed for it to be a hot TV show.

What I don’t understand is why these people cant make what seems to be a simple meal. How hard is it to cook a scallop, seriously now, if you cant cook a scallop on day one, how on earth are you going to run a top restaurant on week 16. Would you pay top dollar to eat at the restaurant where these winners are going to work? I wont. Being a top chef takes years and years of skill, experimentation, and understanding of how to handle food.

Chef Ramsey your the best, I love your food and your shows, but making instant chefs is like making instant rice, it may look the same as the real thing, but it aint.
