You can find Chef Bridget Bueche heading any of her three culinary kitchens at the several locations of Fixtures for Living.  We had the opportunity to attend one of her special Market Tours and Fresh Produce cooking class last weekend in Orange County. We met up with Bridget and her Sous-Chef early in the morning just as the market opened. We took the farmer’s market tour where we selected the produce from the farmer’s booths and spent the morning in her kitchen steaming, and braising the vegetables we picked up earlier.

What a lovely day spent with  my dear friend  Bridget in her incredible kitchen in Orange County where she performs her magic each and every time!

Thanks-you to Fixtures and Bridget for the wonderful experience.
