Great Italian Food Starts With Fresh Herbs Is there anything better after a long day at work than walking into the house and having dinner waiting for you? Nope - you didn't have to hire a personal chef or bribe your significant other into cooking. Five minutes in the morning can result in complete after-work bliss. The best part? Buy and cook double tonight and check back soon for a recipe that uses all your leftovers for another meal. First, a little background. Crush opened in the space focaccia bread that formerly housed Taste a restaurant that I really wanted to like but just never could. The space was super cool and the menu sounded good, but it never quite delivered, so it felt overpriced. Add that to not-so-good service, and Taste was just a disappointment. I live about five minutes away from Belvedere Square, and I'd love a decent, moderately upscale restaurant in the neighborhood, so I was doubly disappointed. Disclaimer: I take the claims of copyright infringement and plagiarism quite seriously. I currently possess thousands of recipes from various sources, some dating back to the 1950's. I do not have the time or resources to verify where all of the recipes originated, but I make a good faith effort to verify them on the internet. If you see one of your recipes used here, no intent to infringe on your copyright was intended. Please let me know that you are the author and I will make sure to give credit slow cooker focaccia where credit is due. Select the elementary, specialty or maybe great bread setting cycle on your bread equipment. Add the liquids on your pan first and so the butter. Add all the dried elements to the breads pan aside from the yeast. Keep salt out from the middle of the pan. That's the place where you put the dried yeast. Tap the pan to settle the dried ingredients and after that level the constituents by pushing the mixture to the ends and sides of the pan. Make a well in the middle of the pan and add the dried yeast. Don't add the raisins, dried fruit and lemon peel yet. Lock the pan into position. When "folding," start with two ends and fold together (top to bottom), then fold sides together (left and right), then flip the whole thing over, folded side down. The second half of the book allows Reinhart to do what he does best, bake. The recipes are all here and Reinhart makes them easy to replicate. He claims to have the ability to identify all of the ingredients and cooking methods of anything he eats. Further, he shares these secrets with the reader. With the numerous recipes, you will be able to reproduce some of the most famous pizzas in the world. He adds his take on "Pepe's" (Wooster Street, New Haven, Connecticut) world famous clam pizza, New York style, Chicago style, bread crock as well as numerous other pizzas. He gives tips on grilling pizza and even devotes some lessons on "tossing" pizza in the air! Make use of idle moments. Multitasking is the key to saving time. Arrange your work so that you can do one dish while another one is cooking. While the roast is finishing in the crock pot, why not fix a salad or make a quick dessert? This way, all the dishes will finish at the same time and you can start serving immediately. The best thing about a slow cooker, of course, is that it frees you to do other things while the food is cooking. You can place all of the ingredients into your crock pot or other slow cooker, and your food will be ready and waiting when you arrive home. Also, there is Kelli's Kitchen, serving the greater Denver area, a focaccia bread anna olson that will not only cater wedding receptions but also rehearsal dinners and bridal showers.

Hotel, located at 17th & Wazee in lower downtown Denver.
