It’s the time of year when family dinners can be ruined because amateur chefs want to try something new they saw on TikTok. Don’t do it! Instead, watch these instructional videos from MATC Culinary Arts instructor Brian Quinn. Two short videos on How to Prepare a Prime Rib and How to Carve a Turkey will prevent you from cutting against the grain or going afowl this holiday season.

Chef Quinn’s short, entertaining videos provide expert tips to help consumers get a leg up on preparation, kitchen utensil usage, carving and plating.

In the videos, Chef Quinn demonstrates how to prepare a standing, bone-in rib roast by removing sections of fat, seasoning the meat and tying it with butcher twine. For those who prefer turkey, he shared slicing skills and how to plate your turkey so guests recognize the parts. He also

The videos are part of MATC’s how-to series in which the college’s expert instructors explain simple yet important life tasks, helping viewers increase their knowledge and perhaps consider taking courses at MATC.

Can you help NNS hit 100?

❤️ Become a new donor

On Nov. 1, we kicked off our biggest and most important fundraiser of the year. Our goal is to raise $15,000 before midnight on Dec. 31, a milestone that will help ensure that we start 2026 on a solid foundation.

On top of that, if we add 100 new donors before midnight on Dec. 31, we will win an extra $2,000 bonus from the Institute for Nonprofit News.

Help NNS get a bonus

That's not all! We also have matching funds.

Thanks to the NewsMatch program and the generosity of Wisconsin Watch board member Barbara Johnson, the first $5,000 we raise will be triple-matched.

Here’s how a triple match works: One-time gifts will be tripled, so if you make a one-time gift of $5, NNS will receive $15. Recurring gifts will be matched at 24 times the monthly pledge, so if you set up a $10 monthly donation, NNS will receive $240.
