Incorporating wine into your dishes can absolutely transform your cooking. With Chef Edward Martinez, you'll learn to use appropriate wines to bring out the fine flavors of fish, chicken, ribs and even desserts --- while you practice techniques (glazing, braising, poaching and more) that will serve you well for years to come! Your remarkable menu includes: arugula, grape and almond salad with cava vinaigrette; wild mushroom and white wine soup; bacon-wrapped trout with red wine; garlic chicken with roasted Brussels sprouts and spaetzle; red wine-braised short ribs with glazed carrots; and peaches poached in white wine with shortbread cookies and crème Chantilly.
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.
