Fall is definitely in the air (even if it seems winter is close behind!). During this time of year, it’s nice to reconnect with your kitchen and whip up some seasonally-inspired dishes. For me, this means testing out some holiday dessert recipes that I can use for November and December gatherings. This week, I’ll be trying out a recipe shared by chef Michael Wilson, of Rocky Mountain Cuisine.
Of course, if you’re a little adverse to your own kitchen, maybe consider hiring Rocky Mountain Cuisine for your holiday season catering needs. Down to the detail, Wilson utilizes only the most high-quality ingredients in each of his dishes (hence the Persephone cinnamon rolls in the recipe below). And for more information on Rocky Mountain Cuisine, read our earlier article.
