Culinary Classes

Hands-on Modernist Cuisine Class & Dinner - Molecular gastronomy. Sous vide. Foams. Spherification. These are some of the most modern cooking methods, which you may have read about online or seen used in TV shows like Top Chef. Join me for a chance to learn all about these fun and creative techniques. You'll get hands-on in the kitchen as we prepare dinner together.

Cocktail Ingredients Workshop - Your cocktail will only be as good as the ingredients that are in it. Commercial versions of standard cocktail ingredients like grenadine and cherries are often sorely lacking in flavor. In this 2-hour workshop you'll make these standard cocktail ingredients along with some unique specialty items. You'll take home samples of everything you made, along with the recipes and know-how to make them yourself, as well as cocktail recipes that use the ingredients you've made. You'll make:

• Grenadine (from real pomegranates, not corn syrup!)
• Fruit shrub (a vinegar based fruit preservation method from colonial times)
• Orgeat (an almond syrup essential for tiki drinks)
• Brandied cherries (you'll never use those artificially colored and flavored maraschino cherries again!)
• Tonic syrup (for making your own tonic water)
