Comments ClosedIt’s Time for Great Cocktails for Spring & Summer Days: Robert Lambert Shares Recipes that Feature Artisanal Ingredients! Yum!!
I adore everything on Robert Lambert’s catalog website. With such fabulous artisanal — read he makes it by hand– it’s hard to figure out sometimes what to do beyond the mundane (Marmalade on toast or on ice cream: chocolate sauce on ice cream cake or between a couple of sugar cookies) I happened to mention to Robert Lambert that I wanted to create some recipes for some of the new products and he indicated that he had come up with some delish recipes. So I am sharing them here. This gives you advance notice for Mother’s Day, Memorial Day, Father’s Day and any other celebrations– including no reason at all except you have lovely weather.

Smashburger Hits So. Calif with a Bang! Founder Tom Ryan Shows Us HOW to Make a Smashburger!
About 2months ago, a friend in No. California asked me during a phone call about Smashburger. I was perplexed– having never heard of it before. While my friend described the place, I was already googling up Smashburger and found 1) that they were an amazing chain of killer burgers with sides to die for as well as burgers that featured a local spin the the location– meaning LA has its’ own burger and the OC or San Francisco has their own as well. #2 I found that the next place to open was in Redondo Beach– a hop, skip and a bit of a jump onto the freeway from me. Wow. KILLER. I got invited to attend the VIP event and actually wanted time to talk to Tom Ryan, founder of the chain so I wound up at the press event (MUCH BETTER IDEA too!) and brought along my good friend and amazing photog/video person, Lisa!
