Grandma’s cooking feeds the heart — Finish Ultimate Quantum feeds the dishwasher!

The Finish Cookbook Club, hosted by Adrienne Bailon-Houghton and her mother, Nilda Félix, offered an immersive experience celebrating both culinary tradition and kitchen innovation. The event coincided with the launch of Finish Ultimate Quantum, highlighting how small upgrades in dishwashing can make life in the kitchen smoother.

Participants explored culturally rich recipes, including Lubiyeh, Lebanese green beans stewed with tomatoes and garlic.  Co-guided by Adrienne and Nilda, attendees learned not only the steps of the dish but also the stories and traditions behind it. “Learning to cook alongside my mother and grandmother shaped many of my favorite memories, so I’m excited to partner with Finish on a campaign that celebrates sharing recipes and honoring those traditions,” said Adrienne Bailon-Houghton. The chef provided insights on the ingredients, describing the flavors, and even shared exact measurements used when preparing the dish. Laughter erupted when we shared how much salt should be in the dish (for many of us, we season to our heart’s desire). The class combined hands-on cooking with practical tips, creating an approachable and engaging environment that honored family rituals while encouraging experimentation in the kitchen.

Finish Ultimate Quantum complemented the experience seamlessly, demonstrating that an unbeatable clean can be both efficient and accessible. By blending culinary tradition with innovative solutions, the Finish Cookbook Club offered a celebration of food, family, and the everyday joys of sharing meals—reminding audiences that great cooking is best paired with smart, effortless cleanup.

Finish Ultimate Quantum is available at major retailers nationwide, including Amazon, Walmart, Costco, Sam’s Club, Kroger, Publix, and Meijer, with prices starting at $4.99.
