Being a chef means being a food scientist! And the kitchen happens to be the most delicious science lab of all. Put the kids’ lab coats on and join Brooke Parkhurst for an afternoon of yummy experiments. Through fun and flavor, Brooke will guide your kids through a series of delicious dishes---and the scientific principles that go with each. We'll cover: Fizzy Lemonade (basic chemical reactions); Margherita Pizza (microorganisms); Hot Chocolate & Whipped Cream (protein reactions); Chocolate Chip Meringue Cookies (more reactions); and Fresh Fruit and Salad (the science of taste). *Limit 2 children per adult. All children and teens must be accompanied by an adult. Everybody attending class must be registered.*
You will work in teams to execute the class menu. At the end of class, participants gather to enjoy the food they have prepared. Wine is served with meals in most classes. All class menus are subject to change. While a snack platter is offered in both morning and evening classes, you may want to consider a light snack before joining us for class. Students are encouraged to bring a light lunch or dinner to all pastry classes.

These dishes capture the flavors and techniques of so many exciting, flavor-forward global cuisines. Spanning the gamut from Mexico to the Middle East, these small but satisfying plates are perfect for parties --- or collect them all to make a masterful (and entirely vegan) meal. We'll create and then feast on: Egyptian baba ghanoush and hummus; Argentinian hearts of palm, tomato and avocado salad; Italian roasted cauliflower with capers; and Balinese chili-grilled tempeh skewers.
Simple and delicious are the themes for this class, which teaches you how to make fresh Italian dishes that are so good --- and easy to execute --- you'll make them for yourself, friends and loved ones again and again. Premium ingredients shine in this menu, drawing from the country's great traditions: Tuscan fennel and raddichio salad; hand-rolled meatballs; risotto Milanese and sauteed broccoli rabe with garlic.
Spend a day at the famed Original Beef of Chicagoland. Based on the award-winning show "The Bear," we'll be cooking some of Carmy and Mikey's favorites. In this class, you'll make The Beef's Italian Beef Sandwich, Carmy's Chicken Piccata, Mikey's Family Meal Spaghetti Pomodoro and Marcus' Chocolate Cake. Yes, Chef!
