Ro Morse

Ro Morse Host of What's Cooking:

The cooking demonstrations at this year's Real Woman's Expo will be all about "Comfort Food". We all have different definitions of exactly what that may mean. The menu will vary from hour to hour. We'll be preparing sinfully rich foods and lighter ones that are comforting just because they are healthier. It should be a fun-filled day with lots of yummy samples, new ideas, give-a-ways, music, and tips to encourage at-home cooking.

10:00 AM - Whaler's Catch in Downtown Paducah

Tommy Amadon who has been cooking with Whaler's for over 15 years and cooked with owner John Harris for 11 year in Florida, will show us how to prepare their popular seafood pot pie, and we can only guess what else he may share from their vast array of menu items that qualify as "comfort foods". Seafood isn't all Tommy knows how to cook so be ready to sample most anything he might have planned.

11:00 AM - Artisan Kitchen in Mid-Town Paducah

David Jones & Karla Lawrence, owner and executive chefs at Artisan Kitchen, are dreaming up and preparing recipes for all kinds of occasions. They will be teaching and entertaining the ladies with their latest cooking brain storms. Both teach with WKCTC as part of the A La Carte series so we'll be sure to learn lots during their presentation. A skillet chicken & dressing combination will be one of their recipes - now that's real comfort food!

12:30 AM - The Bear & Ro

Shane Parker, aka WKYQ's Bear on the Air

and Ro Morse will be cooking together and sharing funny stories and cooking tips with all the ladies. Bear will be incorporating his BearBQue spices and sauce with at least one of his concoctions. Ro is planning to make her pan seared pork tenderloin for all the ladies to sample. When these two get together no telling what will be cooking!

1:30 PM - Pasta House Co. in Paducah

Bob Hoppmann, owner and hands-on manager of the Pasta House Company, will be preparing his spaghetti (three ways) and of couse sharing samples of the Pasta House salad with his popular spaghetti. He is always entertaining and will surely be telling us all about his new location in Jordan's Crossing, not too far from the site where this event is taking place.

2:30 PM- The Range Steakhouse - Harrah's in Metropolis

John Kell, chef extraordinaire for the Range Steakhouse and three additional restaurants at Harrah's in Metropolis, will be sharing his version of "comfort foods". If you've ever visited the Range, you know he has his work cut out for him just deciding which recipes to share. Rumor has it that he will be preparing a chicken breast stuffed with spinach, prosiutto, smoked gouda, basil and roasted red peppers with a white wine sauce. Oh my goodness!!!

3:30 PM - Patti's 1880's Settlement in Grand Rivers

Mike Tullar, owner and chef at both Patti's 1880's Settlement and Mr. Bill's in Grand Rivers, always has the most interesting stories to tell as he cooks delightful recipes for the ladies to taste. This year he is returning to his roots in Hawaii, steaming rice and stir-frying fresh vegetables and chicken with the family's secret blend of Patti's seasonings.
