Hello friends and fellow foodies! It's been ages since we've updated the blog--but not to worry, good things are happening in our kitchens!This is an especially busy time of year for us-Halloween, Thanksgiving, Christmas, New Year's...so many new recipes to test and develop, and so little time! They're coming soon, so just hang in there!We've also gained some new partners and have had a blast producing brand new videos just for them. The most recent production happened to be for a major Italian pasta company-a delicious collection of amazing, yet simple recipes, which featured some of our favorite ingredients (pecorino, basil, tomato, spaghetti...yum!).The autumn season tends to nudge us all in the direction of turkey and pumpkin flavored...well, pumpkin-flavored EVERYTHING. Partnering up with a great Italian brand definitely got us in the mood for something different. After Thanksgiving (and the week of turkey leftovers that inevitably follows) is finally OVER, when you are so sick of turkey sandwiches, turkey soups, and turkey salads, you swear you will NEVER eat turkey again, try our recipe for...Osso Buco! It is the perfect Italian dish for this time of year-comforting, delicious and above all else, different--plus, it presents beautifully (for all those holiday get togethers happening at your house this year!). It's not difficult to make-just takes a little more time than some of our others. Once it's in the oven, use those two hours to get ready for the party. The recipe is on our site-check it out, and if you try it, make sure to leave a comment and let us know what you think!We'll leave you with a mouth-watering still of what your osso buco will look like- ...in the mood for Italian yet?HAPPY THANKSGIVING from the crew at Handmade Kitchens! (and ps-don't forget, if you need help cooking or carving that turkey, or even a last minute side dish idea-it's all on HolidayKitchen.tv)
