Tyler Florence's Chef's Life

Instyle - watch this space!


We had a great shoot here at our new house last week. We did a big Thanksgiving spread for the November issue of InStyle.

The article will have a bunch of new recipes for Thanksgiving. One thing that we did that will be in the article is an old fashioned drink called Ratafia. It is very similar to an infused vodka with the addition of sugar, it becomes almost like a cordial. This is something that you could make now and put it away until the holidays. The longer it sits the better! We made some the other night with fresh cherries, blackberries, and currants. Here is a basic recipe to make your own at home while the summer fruit is still ripe and at it's peak:

Be on the look out for the November issue of InStyle.

Sadly, the summer is coming to an end. Miles & his best friend Kyle returned to Charleston to start school this week, so our house is very lonely and quiet. Hayden is doing great. He is changing and growing each day, and he is sleeping through the night. This week marked his 3 month birthday, but he is already wearing 6 month clothing. The kid is a nursing machine!

We are excited to move our family unit to New York for 5 weeks starting in September. I am shooting a new season of Tyler's Ultimate, a few new specials, more holiday online tips for the Food Network and a special episode of Iron Chef with Paula Deen, Robert Irvine, and Cat Cora. It's going to be a blast!

Hope that you all have a great weekend.

Cheers!

- Tyler
