Hands-on Tasting Lunch & Optional Wine Pairing
What to Expect:
For those who enjoy the experience of participating, Cuisine Karen offers a Hands-on Tasting Lunch featuring a either a first course and main dish, or main dish and dessert. Either way, garden-fresh salad greens with a homemade vinaigrette and freshly baked bread from Little Bread Company will be included.
Students gather at 10:00am, sign-in and put on a name tag. If the weather is nice, we will take a brief tour of Patou's Gardens ~ Patrice's organic herb and vegetable garden ~ with special emphasis on the culinary herbs and whatever locally-grown produce we may need in class.
We return to the kitchen, and everyone is presented with an apron and dishtowel to use during class. You will be supplied with all necessary untensils and equipment to carry out the tasks at hand.
Together, we prepare the meal from start to finish, then enjoy and contemplate our creations during an informal tasting lunch. You will have the option to enjoy a glass of wine chosen to specifically complement the meal. We finish in the French style with a cup of coffee and square of dark chocolate. Class duration is 4 - 4 1/2 hours, ending between 2:00-2:30pm. Since this class involves participation from everyone, class size is limited to 10 people. |
