Valentine's Day is as much about decadence as it is about romance. Allow Chef Sue Gonsalves to teach you how to put together an indulgent menu that will more than satisfy you and a loved one. You will prepare and enjoy a lavish celebratory meal of: shrimp salad; sautéed hearts of palm with artichokes and cherry tomatoes; baked and stuffed potatoes provençal; duo of beef with truffle sauce; and a trio of desserts --- raspberry mousse, mini red velvet cakes and chocolate souffle.
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.
