Cook Like a Pro at Home: BlueStar Dishes Up Favorite Seasonal Recipes with Chef Slade Rushing of MiLa Restaurant, New Orleans, LA

When the weather starts to turn a bit crisp and autumn is in full swing, there's nothing like old-fashioned comfort food to warm and satisfy. And there's nothing quite like Southern comfort food, especially when prepared by Chef Slade Rushing of MiLa restaurant on his favorite BlueStar professional gas range in his New Orleans home kitchen.

Chef Rushing knows just how far to push the comfort food envelope, and serves up a tasty, yet simple-to-prepare cornbread dressing as part of the BlueStar virtual cookbook for fall.

"The holidays would be nothing without a good dressing. This dressing is perfect for a turkey and can easily become vegetarian with the use of mushroom broth instead of chicken broth," says Rushing. "The toasted cornbread adds a nuttiness which keeps people digging for more while the shiitake mushrooms will make your guests swear there is meat in there."

Just how does the Chef's BlueStar range in his home help to make his holiday recipe even better? "The precise, even heat of my BlueStar 22,000 BTU gas burners ensures perfect results every time," says Rushing. "Because of the large capacity of the oven, it's easy to make a double batch."

BlueStar is the well-built "diesel of a stove" that Rushing says he wanted to own forever. The stove is front and center in his home kitchen, working hard alongside wife, Allison, also a talented chef, and their baby daughter.
