Join me, chefs and cookbook authors in classes at Kitchenware Outfitters

  The second quarter class list is out for Kitchenware Outfitters. Click here to see the lineup. Here are descriptions for the two classes I have remaining -- one with Chef Cynthia Creighton Jones.

  May 15, Cuisine of the Sun, $50: Chef Cynthia Creighton Jones (Cape Creations Catering) and Food and I know that there's nothing quite like the Provençal countryside in the spring, when the lavender is in full bloom and the wine is fresh and young. For this class we go exploring what has aptly been called "the Cuisine of the Sun." Chef Cynthia will start the evening with Tapenade (Caper & Black Olive Spread), Mesclun Aux Chapons (Mixed Salad with Garlic Croutons), followed by Merou a La Provençale (Baked Grouper). Finish the evening with classic Sabayon with Fresh Seasonal Berries. I will mate and pour lush wines of the region.

  Tired of ho-hum lean ground beef and burned burgers? This next class is part ramping up the backyard burger and part grilling seminar with the Big Green Egg and Weber charcoal grills.

  June 7, Beyond Beef on a Bun, $45: Just in time for your summer grilling, I fire up KWO's Big Green Egg and Weber grill to take the burger beyond plain old beef on a bun. I'll offer Chipotle Pork Cheeseburgers, Andouille and Beef Burger with Spicy Mayo and Caramelized Onions, and Turkey Burgers with Tomato Chutney, Olives and Feta. I will also grill up a variety of other burger toppings and accompaniments. And because nothing is more perfect with a burger than a good beer, I'll give you a taste of some of my favorite beers that are perfect for summer refreshment.
