Tips from Chef Kevin

*To get a really thick Vinaigrette Dressing while using a food processor, add two toasted pumpkin seeds into the dressing.  Pumpkin seeds are great emulsifiers.  I have found they're even better than mustard.  

*Before grinding whole peppercorns, lightly toast them in the oven to bring them back to life.

*Freeze leftover lemon zest for later use.
