Real German
Cooking (1 session, $65)
Chefs ages 15 and up will discover that ‘German food is more than just
sausages, schnitzel, and sauerkraut,' as explained by Jeremy Nolen, chef at Brauhaus
Schmitz in Philadelphia. 'New German cooking is all about bringing something
old back with a twist,' said Nolen about his approach towards modernizing
German cuisine here in the states. He isn't looking to reinvent the wheel.
Rather, Nolen aims to update German food by gearing it more toward current food
trends that Americans recognize. We will start off with Sausage-Stuffed Pork
Roast where we will learn to butterfly and open-out a pork loin roast, stuff it
with our own homemade sausage stuffing, then roll, tie, brown and roast it. To
accompany the pork, we will prepare a chipotle potato risotto, rich with cheese
and fresh herbs along with a side of Fresh Broccoli with Garlic Butter and
Cashews. Dessert will be an old-fashioned Amish Cream and Sugar Pie. Take home
recipes and don't forget that we eat what we fix, so bring an appetite! A $20
food fee is due to the instructor at class time.

The Food and
Wines of the Loire Valley (1 session, $55)
Participants must be age 21 and older. The Loire Valley is located in the
central area of the Loire River in France. According to Wikipedia, “It is
referred to as the Cradle of the French Language, and the Garden of France due
to the abundance of vineyards, fruit orchards, and artichoke and asparagus
fields, which line the banks of the river.” We will prepare a cheese plate with
appropriate garnishes of fruit and crackers to feature Selles-sur-Cher, Crottin
de Chavignol (this cheese was originally conceived to accompany Sancerre wine),
and Sainte-Maure, Pyramide de Valencay (his pyramid-shaped goat's cheese,
dusted with ashes, boasts a Label regional, a guarantee of authenticity). We
will also create a a Marinated Poached Fresh Tuna with Caper and Anchovy Sauce
followed by a Loire Valley favorite home cooked dish of Pork with Arugula,
Prosciutto and Tomatoes. A great Friday date night out, so round up a baby
sitter (if necessary) and sign up now for a class with a reputation for fun and
good food as well as good wine and a little education, all in one evening.
Remember that we eat what we fix in this class, so bring an appetite. Take home
recipes and detailed wine notes provided. $25 food and wine fee due to the
instructor at class time.
