Chef Herve Mallivert takes you on a “voyage gastronomique” in this hands-on class highlighting the splendor of seafood. Your journey starts with a brief outline of the sea’s abundance, followed by a focus on flavor, advanced techniques, and the uniquely high quality seafood of the Northeastern coast. You will then transform one of the most iconic dishes from the Northeast – the lobster roll! – preparing it in brioche with avocado pudding, shellfish and horseradish cream, coriander salt, and seaweed chips. Next is monkfish (a Chef Herve favorite) cooked slowly sous vide and served with lobster dashi consommé, polenta cream, and fried monkfish bites.
