Fall BBQ'ing and Bison...tasty!

It has officially begun.

That seasonal shift from summer to fall that we all know so well. The air around here has started to feel a bit cooler at night and we've spotted the fleets of big yellow buses out on the road again-back to picking up their charges for another year of academia.

In the kitchen, we have been busily preparing, tasting, and testing all sorts of new recipes. Just recently, we had the pleasure of partnering up with High Plains Bison and creating some great, new, very healthy dishes. Bison meat is exceptionally low in fat content and cholesterol, but still really great tasting. After we put the videos together, the entire office was hooked, and most of us tried them out all over again in our own kitchens. Check out the videos on our Summer Kitchen site, if you're looking for an easy and delicious new recipe that's a little different...hmmmm, maybe to serve at that Labor Day bbq coming up in, oh, 3 days...?

Try the kabobs-trust us, they're amazing. Not to mention simple. Served over a tasty cous-cous salad, these kabobs take no time at all to prepare. You can make enough cous cous to feed an army in a matter of minutes! And the marinade for the kabobs is one of the best we've come up with-collaborating with the High Plains chef was a great learning experience for us! In case you need any more friendly nudges, we decided to go a step further and simply post the video for you below:


Enjoy and happy grilling from the foodies at Handmade Kitchens!

Foodies, meet The Holiday Kitchen

So this is where the introductions are made. We are a small production company, hailing from Stamford, CT, with a passion for food. The Holiday Kitchen was born out of necessity-you can't work in a technologically advanced world with the same old, boring ideas. We love to shoot food, so we figured we should set out to offer the most innovative product we could think of...and here it is. High definition video, styled and lit to look like it just came off the pages of a magazine, without a host. That's right, no host-food, and food alone, is the focus here (give or take some gratuitous shots of brandname tools and appliances-we needed to get funding from somewhere!). We think you'll love our approach to food-simplistic and complex all at the same time. If you're a seasoned foodie, you'll love how the recipes look on screen and be able to appreciate the classics. If you're a novice, our recipes will be a great help to you-being able to watch food being prepared, step by step, is so much easier than trying to decipher a written recipe on your own! Our launch has centered around the 67 holiday segments included in the Holiday Kitchen, some of which will be posted here. Next spring, we will be shooting close to 1,000 more recipes that will be centered around several diverse areas of cooking. Check out our website-www.holidaykitchen.tv and let us know what you think. Since we are new to the blogosphere and trying to learn the internet as fast as possible, we would love suggestions and help wherever it may be offered. We want to get the word out about our videos. We've already posted them to countless websites online and are looking for more on a daily basis.
We are a little company with big, foodie dreams.
