Once you master the proper techniques needed to make risotto and pilaf, you’ll open the door to limitless possibilities for grain- and rice-based dishes. Under the guidance of Chef Robert Ramsey, we'll cover the differences between short- and long-grain rice, how to select the right grain for each method, and all the skills needed to make a fluffy pilaf or a creamy risotto. Each student will make one risotto and one pilaf: Classic Parmesan Risotto, Barley Risotto with Scallion Pesto, or Farro Risotto with Roasted Beets; as well as Vegetable Pilau, Pilaf with Cashews and Dried Fruit, or Basmati Chicken Pilaf.
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.
