Chef Creations Inspired by Hood Cream offers a variety of exclusive recipes made with Hood Cream so at-home cooks can create delicious chef-quality meals. From Pumpkin Bisque to Braised Pork Nachos to Banana Cream Pie, the dishes showcase how high-quality cream creates a high-quality result. It also includes two special recommended seasonal menus – a summertime tasting menu and a holiday spread, each specially-designed by Chef Coombs and perfect for entertaining.

“Hood Cream has always been an ingredient I trust when cooking at home and in my restaurants,” said Chef Coombs. “I am thrilled to share these special recipes and show consumers how easy it is to create high-quality, restaurant-style dishes at home.”
