Last month Joy of Kosher had the amazing opportunity to partner with KitchenSurfing to promote their new kosher section. KitchenSurfing is an online service that pairs people with chefs. Instead of going out to a fancy dinner you can bring the fancy dinner in and the chef can tailor the meal to your exact needs and wants. The chef will shop, cook, serve and clean up and we got to experience it first hand last month with Chef David Egidio Donagrandi. We ran a contest and invited 5 winners plus guests to join the entire Joy of Kosher team for dinner in Brooklyn.

When we came in to the apartment, we had the chance to explore and schmooze and snack. There were three pass around appetizers, including these pickled eggs with onions and balsamic marmalade, risotto cakes and lamb meatballs.

The food was paired with a vodka punch, citrusy and delicious. We enjoyed the beautiful view and met all the guests.

Meanwhile the chef was preparing a feast.

We started with this Fresh Corn Chowder garnished with toasted farro and paprika oil. I am so excited that Chef David agreed to share this incredibly tasty recipe with us, a very unique way to use farro.

The next course was a Cured Branzino with Beets, another recipe Chef David is sharing with us, get the recipe here. Perfect to prep ahead and different kind of fish appetizer.

We went on to enjoy small plates of Farenheit Turnip, Beef Steak Cruda, Roasted Prime Rib Chanterelle, and a Grapefruit and Orange Aspic. Although there were many courses, he managed to fill us up without making us feel sick. Using quality ingredients and lots of vegetables Chef David wowed us. Hire Chef David to make your next dinner from Kitchen Surfing.

Now, I challenge you to recreate some of the magic, Chef David shared two recipe with us, Cured Branzini and Roasted Corn Soup.

Hi Rachel
I am so sorry for not getting back to you in time, somehow your comment got lost in the shuffle. You can for sure do this type of program with kitchen surfing and find a great chef to meet your needs, we can also send out to people we know who might be interested if you have anything like this in the future.
Hi,
I am a member of the sisterhood committee at Beis Haknesses of North Woodmere. The sisterhood is interested in trying to create a Kitchensurfing event. I was thinking it could be a women’s only cocktail party in one of the local homes, no formal seating, maybe 2 or 3 chefs preparing the food and the women able to watch and mingle around eating. I would like to ideally fit at least 50 women. I was thinking of doing this some time in August. I have reached out to the email address on the kosher kitchenurfing website but have not heard back so I thought I would try this route.
Is this something feasible? I would love to work with you to make this happen.
Thanks,
Rachel Frogel
