Some new recipes can come from some seasoned cooks.
"You know, when I used to cook for the Royal Neighbors Home, one of the residents came up to me and said 'Have you ever tried New England Boiled Dinner'?", said Chef Brad Scott, director of Scott Community College's Culinary Arts and Hospitality Management Center in Bettendorf.
"So I tried it and it was a hit."
