Dirty Dozen Cooking Classes
CLASSES GO ON SALE JULY 6TH The Dirty Dozen Cooking Class is an interactive cooking class. Students arrive at Abacus in Dallas on a Sunday afternoon and receive a personalized Abacus chef's jacket. The class is then divided into four teams. The teams are headed up by Executive Chef/Partner Kent Rathbun, Corporate Chef Aaron Staudenmaier, Abacus Sous Chef Omar Flores, and Abacus Pastry Chef Mark Menzie. Each team spends the day preparing one of four courses, which includes dessert or an impressive buffet. At the end of the day, each student invites one guest for dinner, wine, and a great time. Instead of leaving with recipes, you will leave with the knowledge of "how to." This year we are doing the sign up differently. Since our email list is so large, it took 1/2 a day for the email to get to everyone. This did not leave an opportunity for everyone to have a fair chance at getting a spot. The July to December schedule will be posted at 10 am on July 6 and once again will be done by email only. The students will be picked in order of the time stamp on the incoming email. The classes will be posted at Dirty Dozen Schedule All of the themes for the classes have been chosen, except for one. Feel free to send a theme you are interested in and if yours is chosen, you will have first dibs on a spot in that class. You can email your thoughts to donnat@kentrathbun.com. Good luck |
Chef Kent at The Chef's Garden
Chef Kent had the opportunity to cook this month at an Earth to Table dinner for Chef's Garden. The Chef's Garden is the leading grower of artisanal produce in the United States for the world's top chefs. The Chef's Garden began over 40 years ago at the Jones family farm in Huron, Ohio, selling products at nearby farmers' markets.
Over the years, The Chef's Garden philosophy has changed, emphasizing optimum nutrition and taste, rather than quantity. By utilizing the sustainable agriculture growing methods, the products are safe for the consumer, the community, and the environment. The Chef's Garden believes that rebuilding the soil naturally provides us with better-tasting, more nutritional products. Healthy soils, healthy crops, healthy people - that's the fundamental concept behind sustainable agriculture. Keep your eye open for Kent Rathbun Concepts dinner's featuring Chef Kent and Farmer Lee Jones.
