On the Set at CookTasteEat

I had the pleasure of joining the @CookTasteEat team on the set this past week and have nothing but gratitude for their warm hospitality!  It was an amazing experience, and they were extremely gracious in hosting Melina, Nadia and me.

Personally, I’m blown away by the way this team is so focused on producing a top quality product.  It pervades everything that they do, from the attention to detail with each recipe, the amazing guests, the high quality production and set, and that doesn’t even begin to speak about the food!  It is a huge differentiator for the company and the people, and I am very proud to be part of the team.

For Melina and Nadia, this was an amazing experience.  I love to expose them to different experiences, and allow them to see some of the myriad opportunities that they will have as they grow up.  Both of them loved the opportunity to say “Action!” when it was time to shoot, but the people and the food stole the show for them.   I loved all of the different conversations, from Melina explaining that her favorite food was clams, to even guessing that they were going to cook creme brulee, and both of my girls talking way too much about funny family stories.  Michelle was so good to the girls, listening to all of their stories!

Melina and Nadia had a blast, and they loved the food, and tried everything.  Lamb.  Caviar.  Creme brulee.  Strawberry short cake.  And salad (which made Dad very happy).  They tried everything, and there wasn’t anything on the menu that they didn’t like.  And some things I could hardly stop them from eating!

I can’t wait for the next time, and I am very excited about all of the opportunities ahead for CookTasteEat.  Some great partnerships coming, and with the continued dedication to quality, the sky is the limit for this team!
