Presented by Farm Rich, I first walked into a reception featuring Farm Rich frozen appetizers: breaded avocado slices, loaded potato skins, pimento cheese bites, chicken roll ups and veggie skewers. So when I was invited to a cooking demonstration in the Tasty Kitchens I said “OH.YEAH.” I’m completely obsessed with those short cooking videos from Tasty, where everything comes together in under three minutes and I’m like, “I can totally do that!”. When she’s not scouting out new snacks and drinks in LA, she’s perfecting 20-minute dinner recipes, which you can subscribe to at. Toby Lowenfels lives in Culver City with her husband and two toddler boys. I’ll definitely consider adding these recipes to my rotation-especially supplemented by side salads and veggies-and look forward to following the channel for more tips and tricks. Both recipes are perfect for miniature hands and there’s no doubt that my kids would enjoy making and eating them. The second recipe was for Meatball Cups, another decadent, bite-sized take on a traditional comfort food, which took about 5 min to prep and 20 min to cook.
Go, teamwork! I stepped aside to check in with my husband and remind him to DVR the Will and Grace revival and, by the time I came back, the snacks were coming out of the oven-gooey and prime for the mayo dip. We broke into teams to learn the first recipe, Ham and Cheese Pull-Apart Sandwiches, which only took about 2 minutes to assemble among five sets of hands. Guests were treated to cocktails served by mixologist Matthew Biancaniello, including ingredients I can’t pronounce, like calamansi, and guided through cooking demonstrations featuring ingredients I can pronounce all too well, like salt, garlic and butter. I was excited to learn cooking tips, meet new people and be relieved from cleanup/bedtime duty for the night. So of course I jumped at the opportunity to attend a Cooking with Tasty demonstration presented by Farm Rich last Thursday evening at The Gourmandise Schoolin Santa Monica. As a mother of two toddlers, I’ll take all the kitchen hacks I can get my hands on to put dinner on the table (almost) every night. People with more than one mouth to feed are required to cook at a superhuman pace, making the hyper-fast Tasty videos especially useful. I sent my two top foodie friends, Kristy and Toby, to cover it (and enjoy the evening). “This way, you create impact but people can see one another,” Barkley says.TASTY invited to a cooking class at The Gourmandise School in Santa Monica. Hosting must-haves: A white tablecloth and white place settings to make her floral arrangements really pop, and 20 different vases running the length of her table. Top tip: Serve drinks with floral ice cubes featuring petals from edible flowers such as viola, geranium, lavender, rose, pansy, or nasturtium. “My approach is to tell a flower story right down the table, so everyone gets to enjoy the flowers, not just the person in the middle,” she says. For Barkley, flowers are more than just the main event they’re a mood-setter. Tina Barkley’s backyard dinner parties are, during the summer, floral affairs, with the florist and designer leveraging the season’s fabulous flora to craft place settings, multiple table arrangements, and more. In the summer, so many blossoms and blooms are at their peak, making it the right time of year for a splashy, elegant floral centrepiece. Tina Barkley, co-founder of Vancouver’s Fleurs de Villes.

Get more summer hosting tips from Amy Burstyn Fritz, including how to set a memorable table in five easy steps. Hosting must-haves: Pre-treated linens that minimize stains and wrinkles that can be easily be thrown in the washing machine after your party has wrapped (or the next morning). “My mom was famous for doing that,” Burstyn Fritz says. Top tip: Curate who’s sitting next to whom - and then move them between courses. “I’m a burner because candlelight makes everything better. And, for heaven’s sakes, burn your candles! “I know people who buy specialty candles and never burn them,” she says. But setting a beautiful summer table goes beyond flatware and china: Burstyn Fritz also suggests getting creative with the details, like using unexpected objects, such as eggs or gourds, as place settings. If you ask this Toronto-based dinnerware buff her key to hosting the perfect summer party, her answer will naturally gravitate towards the importance of table settings: Misette, after all, is well-known for its mood-setting, eye-catching dishes, linens, and other table settings.
