Tyler Florence's Chef's Life

Share Our Strength

Posted Jun 15th 2007 12:34PM by TYLER

Well, summer is in full swing! It's about 80 degrees here in the Bay Area and I don't think it could possibly be more beautiful...warm sunshine throughout the day and then a slight cool-off at night to make for a perfect sleep temperature. One thing that I notice is how much the weather can differ from area to area here in the San Francisco/Marin area. Its these 'micro-climates' that account for all of the unique farming regions and of course, the amazing wines of our neighbors, Sonoma and Napa.

This week has been great so far with a lot of family time. Its so nice to watch Miles and his new little brother play together. Well, as much as a three week old can play! We've just been hanging around the house, swimming at 'Three Wells', a local swimming hole, and enjoying the nice weather.

Next week (June 21) I am really excited to be hosting the Share Our Strength's 'Taste of the Nation' event here in San Francisco. This is a great cause and Share Our Strength is truly amazing in their efforts to end child hunger. If you'd like to learn more, please visit www.tasteofthenation.org.

6. Tyler, you have 2 adorable sons there. You must be very proud. I am enjoying watching your Utimate Steak sandwich show right now. It looks wonderful. YOu have outdone yourself on this show and EVERYTHING always looks so good. Can't wait to see your take on onion rings (that part hasn't been shown yet). I love onion rings but this steak sandwich is next o my list. Keep up the good work!

7. Happy Father's Day, Tyler! I know you've included some of Miles' favorite recipes in your cookbooks. If you come up with some recipes for little Hayden, maybe you could include those in your next book. You can have a chapter called "Little Dude Food"! Have a great Father's Day and an even better summer with your adorable boys!

9. Hi Tyler,
I was looking through your website and came across a great picture that was featured in Playboy magazine. The one with those perfect female legs and you holding a bottle of champagne. It's tastefully done and my husband and I both think that is such a great picture! I was wondering if there is a way to get one. I think it would be cool framed and hung in my awesome kitchen.
Thanks, Amy

10. Tyler,

I really want your Oven Roaste Turkey breast with homemade cornbread stuffing recipe but when I click on it the Herb roasted chicken recipe comes up. The right video plays, but I cannot find the ingredient and recipe information. Can this be fixed or can I please get the recipe???? I have tried to contact aol, you, etc. 5 or 6 times and still no response. Please help, I really want the recipe for a dinner party I am going to host in a week. Thanks.
