Hands-on Class:  Cooking with Wine

PM Session:  Mon, Feb 7, 2011

 

Cooking with wine, like drinking wine, can add another dimension to the food experience.  So, what wine to cook with?  The general rule of thumb is never cook with a wine you wouldn't drink because your finished dish is only going to be as good as the ingredients that go into it. In this hands-on class, Robyn Webb will share some simple recipes using a variety of wines to enhance the overall flavor.

 

*Clams in White Wine and Garlic, *Pork Loin in Red Wine Reduction with Bleu Cheese

*Risotto with Pinot Grigio, *Berries in Fruity Red Wine

 

Instructor: Robyn Webb

Hands-on Class: Savory & Sweet Chocolate

PM Session:  Tues, Feb 8, 2011

Chocolate is most commonly used for the sweeter side of cooking and baking, but did you know there is a savory side of chocolate as well? Chocolate and cocoa powder have been used for years as a savory component of sauces and marinades. Adding chocolate to a dish adds a rich depth of flavor and a great contrast of sweet and savory.  In this hands-on class, Chef Mia will delight you with some delightful savory and sweet chocolate dishes.
