About
Lauren
Meet Lauren, a devoted wife and mother, internationally-renowned
cook, lifestyle advisor and teacher. She has carefully and lovingly
created this "virtual kitchen" in celebration of all of
you who wish you could gather your family around a thoughtfully-prepared
home cooked meal regularly -- and make it a priority -- but don't
know where to begin. 
Understanding how and why things happen in the kitchen (culinary cause-and-effect), and becoming more knowledgeable about your ingredients will quickly enable you to become more confident, less tentative and thus, more creative. Check out our Food Matters A-Z section.
Lauren’s
Apron for Real Life™Designed for the way you live, and the way you really cook! As one who cooks and bakes all the time, Lauren found herself frustrated with certain kitchen tools, especially aprons, and finally set out to create her own.Secure your eyeglasses, carry your iPod, stash your cell phone, tuck your kitchen towels, and button on your oven mitts and you’ll still have room for toting around your Blackberry, your cordless phone and a note pad and pencil to take those phone messages! And if you’ve ever been reluctant to wear an apron while entertaining for fear of mussing your hair taking it on and off, you’ll love the button closure (with button holes that are barely visible!) on the neck strap which makes for a perfect “do” and a perfect you. With an adjustable neck strap and extra long waist ties, this truly efficient apron will fit just about anyone.

Lauren's Featured Recipes
It’s Spring! Puree of Asparagus Soup, With Roasted Pepper Coulis
If you love asparagus, this soup is just delicious and, when served with a mixed green salad that’s lightly dressed with a perky-tasting vinaigrette, it makes a fabulous lunch or a casual supper. I suggest using homemade stock, which is basically salt-free and, irrespective of the type, always has so much more flavor than the canned version.
Pan-Seared & Oven Roasted... Herb & Garlic Scented, Double-Rib Lamb Chops
You won’t find lamb chops better than these. Thick, with a very dark exterior, a rosy-red interior and a savory flavor that leaves nothing to be desired. This recipe illustrates perfectly the concept of how uncomplicated food can provide a big dining experience.
Orange-Scented Currant Scones
As far as my family and friends are concerned, this recipe produces scones that are unsurpassed. The biscuit mix has been specifically designed to make scones that are lighter than most with a very tender, slightly cake-like crumb.
If you use my timing strategy at the end of this recipe, you’ll see that making scones is truly a snap!
