I recently checked out the National Aquarium's Fresh Thoughts sustainable seafood dining series featuring recipes envisioned by Chef Barton Seaver and prepared by Chef Xavier DeShayes of the Ronald Reagan Building and International Trade Center.

Fresh thoughts not only offers a delicious evening out, it's also a way to increase your understanding of sustainable seafood practices.

Milestones: 3 Year Airing Anniversary

Thank you to my friend Jennifer Glover for reminding me that it was 3 years ago today that Capital Cooking started airing.  Time really does fly!  Our production quality continues to improve and our distribution continues to expand.  Starting next month, we'll begin airing on WETA.  That means we'll be reaching 100% of the metro area.  Get ready to watch!!

Catering Upcoming Parties

With warm weather, comes lots of parties.  Save yourself some of the stress of cooking and look into some great catering.  Ridgewells Catering recently hired a fantastic new chef Robert Gadsby that wowed us with a taste of their spring menu. Jill Collins did a fabulous job planning the event.
