Celebrity Chef Recipes Made Easy

F&W editors attending the Classic introduce star chefs at cooking demos, then take seats in the audience to watch our culinary crushes. (Editor-in-chief Dana Cowin, for instance, finally learned the proper way to season food from Thomas Keller.) Here we’ve asked our Test Kitchen cooks to take our favorite Aspen recipes and simplify them, so we can take a bit of this fantastic event home and share it.

“I still remember when my mother came with me to the Classic in Aspen, many years ago, and we shared several meals with Julia Child.”

“At 2 a.m. at the Classic, I’m usually walking home from my third party of the night.”

“The camaraderie of the chefs is a highlight—we definitely make time to play.”
