Step Up To The Plate

Your mouth is watering for a decadent pan-seared lamb chop in a nicoise olive, shallot, and thyme vinaigrette prepared by a top chef, but you really should give your wallet a break and stay in tonight instead of going to one of our many enticing restaurants. Such is the common dilemma in Charleston. No longer.

This month, Chef Bob Waggoner (formerly of Charleston Grill) will introduce the world’s first high definition video iPhone cooking show, uCook! with Chef Bob. You’ll be able to download five initial recipes from iTunes (12 more will be released gradually), giving you one-on-one instruction on how to prepare dishes such as Caramelized Peaches Scented with Honey and Lemon and Pan-Seared Diver Scallops in an Orange Saffron Butter Sauce. You can put Chef Bob in your pocket and take him with you to the grocery store to use his interactive ingredient check-off list; then bring him back home to have a fun, educational, intimate cooking experience with one of the country’s premiere chefs, right in your own kitchen.

Fellas, just think. This Valentine’s Day, you may be able to be the coolest guy in the world and get your lady another man. Who can cook.
