Here’s the power of fresh whipped cream. At our family bbq, in Los Angeles, my son, Giacomo started whippng cream for pies and the kids just came running. They all wanted a taste of the whip.
RSS SubscribeWelcome to Family Meal, a blog that examines all things new and noteworthy in the world of food, wine, and dining.
At family meal, otherwise known as staff meal, there’s no hierarchy; you’re breaking bread with your friends. For those 30 minutes, everyone is equal- and hungry. Family meal is our version of the water cooler- but with better food.
I’ll be sharing my thoughts, tips, and observations, and, in the spirit of family meal, I’ve invited our creative, energetic staff- everyone from line cook to bartender to bookkeeper- to have a say. I hope you’ll add your own comments and join in the conversation.

That’s pretty cool that your son was whipping the cream! I know my kids would be running for that also. Seems like the part of the dessert they always enjoy the most. Those pies look delicious!

The pies were delicious. I was a little skeptical because my sister is not that good a cook really. But she did a great job.
