Putting romance back in the kitchen!

feedback@hotkitchenonline.com

Cooking and baking good food has always been my favorite means of artistic expression. I’ve been drawn into the kitchen from before I was big enough to see the counter. I’ve always loved the way that a great meal can be prepared from the humblest of ingredients, and in the hands of a loving cook these simple ingredients transform into extraordinary pieces of edible art; tokens of love that can be eaten and taken into the body.

I’ve watched cooking shows for a long time, picking up tips and nuggets of wisdom along the way, but still hungry for more knowledge. Inevitably, my passions whisked me away to a Le Cordon Bleu culinary school where I had the amazing experience of learning all about foods, flavor, technique, restaurants, and service that have become the foundation of my cooking today. My style is based in classic french technique with my own take on flavor, and enhancing nutrition with lots of fresh ingredients. After my great learning experience I would still watch cooking shows. Sometimes I really wondered if the host was truly passionate about the food, or if the show was just a job to them. I would get frustrated by the expensive specialty ingredients called out in the recipes and the lack of explanation of technique. I also have a problem because to me, food is love. Where is the love in all these cooking shows?

Our little cooking show is 100% produced by me and my husband. We believe that romance, love, and food are synonymous. We know that true romance is something to be cherished, cultured, and nurtured, much like a fine meal. We have been working hard to make our show the best it can be. We have designed our show to focus on simplifying cooking. We always want you to feel like you are hanging out in the Hot Kitchen and cooking along with me. We try to stay away from specialty ingredients that are expensive and/or difficult to find, and focus on fresh foods and whole ingredients. Most all of the ingredients in my recipes can be substituted with comparable flavors without compromising the dish. In my Hot Kitchen, food should not ever be complex or intimidating. These meals are specifically designed for a special night in, as an alternative to dining out, and as such they are a bit more decadent than your normal every day cuisine.

We want for you to enjoy our shows, try our recipes, and really try out the date night at home concept. Turn off the cell phones, drop the kids off at a friend’s house for an evening, lock the doors, and slip into something that your sweetie will find, hmmmm… appetizing!. Set yourself up to have a relaxing, uninterrupted evening where food and romance blend together to bring you and your sweetie closer. Enjoy the way homemade food crafted by loving hands is a catalyst for true romance.

We are quick to respond to any questions you may have and we LOVE comments. Each comment makes us smile and inspires us to film a new episode for you every week!

Our little show is a work in progress, so tell us what you think and ask us any questions! Please leave a comment!!

Thank you!

Love, Hot Kitchen

  Is it the beef curry that is making you hungry? That was such a yummy dinner!
  
  Cathie’s is the best little store in town, and they’re very nice too…
  
  Thanks!

Hey you two,

Just wanted to leave a comment about your show. I’ve been downloading them on iTunes for a while now and I just wanted to let you know that your medieval turkey episode was great!! (How exactly does one send a cooked turkey to England these days anyway?)

Thank you for including wine pairings at the end of each episode as well. Wine is my main interest and it’s great that you include that as part of the show. Keep it up! Cheers!

Luke

  Nice to hear from you! Medieval Turkey was such a blast to put together. It was a good little challenge for our creativity, and the turkey was delicious…
  
  We’re glad you like the wine suggestions! Good food paired with the right wine just makes a romantic dinner that much better.
  
  Thank you!

Great show.. I’ve seen several episodes now. Wendy puts wonderful meals together in a fun & sexy way. She’s a sweetheart, but unfortunately todays women would rather serve their ‘sweetie’ a microwavable meal so that they don’t miss their lastest reality show. Keep up the great work, your hubby is a lucky guy.

  @Jerry: Thank you for watching!! The whole reason we started the show was to show that real cooking and love go hand-in-hand and hopefully inspire a few people out there to serve wholesome cuisine seasoned with lots of love to the one they love the most!

Great show. My wife and I are excited to try the london broil. Only comment is that the credits are hard to read at the end. Maybe a different color set? Keep having fun!

I’m an old gal who likes to cook, & I’ve happened upon your show twice now, nodding off on a Sunday night. But both times I was kind of mesmerized. I really like cooking shows, & it’s fun to watch you cook. Decided to actually look at your website. Good luck to you!

Great show — I just came across it last night. I’m just learning to cook, so this helps a lot. Do you have recipes published on this website? I didn’t write anything down as I watched, but I’ll never remember it all! LOL Love this concept!!

  Hi There! Our recipes can be found at the beginning of each episode. We set it up this way so that all you have to do is hit pause and write it down. There is a cookbook in the works that will have the recipes set up in a more traditional format. Thank you so much for watching!! If you have any questions, we’re pretty quick to respond to posts and emails. Our best email is feedback@hotkitchenonline.com or through facebook. Thanks again! Have fun turning up the heat in your kitchen!!

Pay particular attention to Wendy’s technique with each preparation. She’s a master — and that’s just one sign of the intelligent infrastructure that makes Hot Kitchen it’s very own phenomenon!!!

Loved this episode. Good job! I was especially impressed with those fried green beans and chipotle dip. That’s on my list to try in the near future.

Thanks.
