Classic can mean so many things: rock, cars, -al music. But food can be classic, too! The mighty pork chop, the noble carrot, the delectable mashed potatoes… all the fixings for a classic dinner, coming together in your kitchen. Top some (or all!) of it with a rich shallot demi, and you’ll see how amazing a classic dinner can be. Tip: To peel the carrot with less effort, lay it down on your cutting board peel one half, rolling it as you peel. (Be sure to peel in a motion away from you!)
