LOVE & ROMANCE Be Prepared for a Great Outcome By Ti m a n d Al i Bre i t ba ch M akeOut Kitchen lives by three basic values: proximity, collaboration and intimacy. If you have the first two, chances are, you’ll achieve the third. We apply these values to our kitchen and love the results. Imagine the scene: It was a cold rainy night; a perfect night to stay home and cook. Side by side, chopping, marinating, prepping, roasting, tasting and toasting. It’s also a perfect occasion to be really well prepared for waking up the next day with an idea for a great, e asy breakfast. We call that planning for “The Morning After.” The Main Event The main meal is a super flavorful, healthy combination of Dijon and herb-coated, baked salmon, pan-roasted Brussels sprouts with garlic and pesto, and a sweet potato cake accompanied with goat cheese and sun-dried tomatoes. Each component stands alone, but beautifully complements each other. It also is in no way heavy, so you get the rich, robust flavor, without feeling weighed down by a big meal. The Morning After Tim Breitbach Ali and Tim on their wedding day 48 GAZELLE The next day … those Brussels sprouts and sweet potatoes make a great base for a vegetarian hash. Add some onions and let the once- cooked leftovers take on a whole new level of flavor in a hot skillet. Top with an egg or two - your way - and you get an amazing, but simple and quick dish that brings back memories of a successful, intimate evening.
