The first meal kit up: Williamson Braised Short Ribs with Carrot Risotto and Lemon-Buttered Peas, which feeds four people and features spring-inspired ingredients for the ultimate dinner party at home. “My work with food extends beyond the kitchen with No Kid Hungry, and I’m looking forward to providing meals to more people through this partnership,” says Williamson. “Partnering with World Chef was a no brainer for me, as we look at a world where chefs and customers cook together. Now you can have a gourmet meal at home while giving back. It’s a win, win for everyone.”

“I believe that quality matters, even with a braising cut,” she says. “Look for marbling in the beef…fat helps tenderize.

Easy spring entertaining dish
“A honey glazed ham is a personal favorite I’ve always loved a spiral-cut ham. I doctor it up with some extra spicy mustard and honey and serve some Hawaiian rolls with it on the side for DIY sandwiches.” Future Mission Chefs include Chef Jet Tila for the month of May, with his Larb Gai and Thai Sticky Rice recipe.
