If you want to get started cooking or just be a better cook, Aida Mollenkamp is a great go-to resource. As I mentioned in my post earlier this year about effortless brioche dough and cinnamon rolls, Aida’s new cookbook, Keys to the Kitchen, is a great addition to any cookbook collection. She’s coming to Austin to teach a class so you can meet her in person and get a glimpse behind the scenes of the book. On her menu for the evening you’ll find:

• Smashed Pea, Ricotta & Watercress Bruschetta
• Little Gems Salad with Baby Beets, Radishes, Citrus & Green Goddess Dressing
• Pistachio-Crusted Salmon with Spicy Green Harissa
• Roasted Smoked Paprika Smashed Potatoes
• Shortcakes with Rhubarb-Strawberry Compote & Orange Flower Whipped Cream
