Create rich and beautiful dishes without a ton of work by learning the ins and outs of braising, a technique that uses searing and then stewing to create juicy, fall-off-the-bone meats and rich, tender vegetables.

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.
