Elon Dining launches ‘Phoenix Flavors’ cooking series

The talented chefs of Elon Dining Services are presenting weekly virtual cooking demos to share fun and easy recipes with the Elon community.

With all the extra time many people are spending at home, Elon Dining Services is sharing a few tasty activities to help pass the time while practicing social distancing.

“Cooking and eating should be family time and it should trigger great memories,” said Executive Chef Jay Vetter in the first installment of the new Elon Dining series “Phoenix Flavors.”

Vetter and other talented chefs from Elon Dining will present weekly cooking demos, offering fun and easy recipes for the Elon community to make at home. The first segment was released Wednesday night and featured Vetter, along with his recipes for homemade noodles and a traditional tomato sauce.

Vetter created the dish using flour, eggs, olive oil, tomatoes, onion, garlic and herbs. The goal is to show viewers how to make delicious dishes using ingredients that can be found at home.

Upcoming Phoenix Flavors videos will be posted on Elon Dining’s social media channels, as well as the Elon University and Elon University Admissions Facebook pages.

“We miss you guys,” Vetter said. “You’re gone, but while you’re gone, we’re trying to stay connected to you, and this is one way we can stay connected to our Elon community.”
