About

Hello everyone!

This is our about us page! After a little bit, I've finally figured out how to do this type of page, so I moved the stuff from the post that I'd made earlier that was basically the "about us" to here, so now it's easy to access. If you're new, we'll introduce ourselves: the Three Chefpos! We three Chefpos work in this Chez Chefpo to bring you our tasty homemade recipes so you too can enjoy them. Without further ado, the Chefpos!

Li'l Chefpo

Li'l Chefpo's a bit of a beginner chef, sadly to say. But why am I using third person? I am Li'l Chefpo! While I also try to assist in the cooking like Chefpo Jr., I'm the behind-the-scenes producer/editor! You may know me as... Bloggerpo!

Pretty amazing, right? So why do I sign off all the posts with "Chefpo"? Am I participating in identity theft? Nah, it just seems more professional to not have "Li'l Chefpo" at the bottom of every page. Plus, I wasn't the one who made them. But watch out! Whenever Chefpo Jr. or I make something, it'll be signed off with whoever made it. Also, Chefpo Jr. might be writing some posts in the future too!

That's all for today! Feel free to ask any questions about any of us, and maybe I'll do a Q&A in the future!

Banana Chiffon Cake

Welcome back! Today, we have another recipe for when you want to use some of your extra bananas! Unlike the Banana Bread from last time, this one is basically a chiffon cake that is modified to accommodate for the bananas. It keeps the really light and fluffy texture of the cake while also having the banana flavor, and it also goes nicely with other fresh fruit like shown below.

Tiramisu

Welcome back to Chez Chefpo! Today, we've got a classic Italian dessert: Tiramisu! No twists on this one, this is your classic tiramisu that's about as traditional as it gets.

Tuscan Soup

Welcome back! Today, we have a delicious soup originating from Tuscany, Italy (this is the region where Florence is in). Traditionally, this dish is a combination of various vegetables with some Italian bacon and Tuscan bread. The one we made is more Americanized, featuring Italian sausage, and it's a little heartier. However, they are still pretty similar in the vegetables used: kale, potatoes, carrots, etc. Tuscan Soup Makes 4 servings Ingredients: 1/2 tablespoon olive oil 8 to 10 ounces Italian sausage 1 medium onion, chopped 3 cloves garlic, minced 2 tablespoons flour 3 cups chicken broth 1 to 2 cups half & half 1 large potato, diced 1 medium carrot, diced 1/2 bunch kale, chopped Salt and pepper to taste Directions: Steam the potato and carrot and save it for later. With the olive oil in a pot, cook the Italian sausage until browned. Remove the sausage from the pot. Saute the onion and garlic in the pot. Add the flour into the pot and mix. Add in the chicken br...
