A holiday table is never complete without the green bean casserole. Originally created in the '50s to encourage housewives to purchase more cream of mushroom soup, this retro side comes together with only a few ingredients. Kelsey Clark uses frozen, defrosted green beans but canned beans can be used, just as grandma did. And, everybody's favorite ingredient - crispy fried onions - are mixed in with the beans and layered on top. Good stuff never goes out of style.
Kelsey grew up in Bellingham, Washington. She became interested in cooking during high school and went on to attend culinary school at Johnson & Wales University in Providence. She participated in international programs in Paris as well as a wine school in Koblenz, Germany. Upon graduation, Kelsey received the most prestigious scholarship offered at Johnson & Wales through the Kobrand Wine Company's KOPF Foundation. This award allowed her to travel throughout California, Italy and France through the 2007 grape harvest, working in wineries and gaining hands-on understanding of the wine-making process. Kelsey has worked on Ming Tsai's PBS cooking show "Simply Ming" for six seasons. She has bartended in clubs and bars in Providence, Seattle, and Boston for over 6 years and is currently a producer for how2heroes. Outside of her love of food and wine, Kelsey enjoys running, traveling and spending time with her slightly overweight Bichon Frise, Gingersnap.
