Plated Desserts: Techniques in Chocolate

Of the many steakhouses in the U.S., few have a “signature dish.” Among those that do, their claims to fame range from sides and sweets to the steaks themselves. In this cooking class, you’ll prepare a multi-course meal of signature dishes from America’s most renowned steakhouses. Recipes include: chopped salad with hearts of palm, artichoke hearts, and blue cheese from Morton's in Chicago; skirt steak with red wine mojo and orange salsa from Chef Allen's in Aventura, Florida; German-style hash brown potatoes from Peter Luger in Brooklyn, New York; plus mushrooms and onions from Morton's.

In this 2 hour workshop, you will make ham and cheese crepes, crepe Normandy and crepe suzette!

Enjoy Spain right here in New York as you feast on tapas --- one of the great pleasures of Spanish culture.
