The Southern Food & Beverage Museum held a mouth-watering event highlighting the work of author Melissa Clark. As she showed off her kitchen skills, Melissa told the tale of how she started cooking more simple, yet delicious one-pan or pot dinners during the pandemic because she found herself doing so much clean up from cooking every day. Her brand new cookbook Dinner in One: Exceptional & Easy One-Pan Meals is full of amazing meals that are quick and fresh with just a few ingredients so that the true flavor of the food really shines through.
Melissa cooked shrimp sauteed in a simply, yet powerful miso, garlic, and sesame oil sauce which was served on top of a bed of quickly cooked asparagus spears garnished with fresh herbs. The entire dish took a handful of minutes and tasted so good. To round out the menu for the evening, the crew from Turkey & The Wolf was on-hand with meatballs, deviled eggs, and really incredible roasted carrots.
