About this Event
This class is built around a core idea: when you understand why food cooks the way it does, you can cook anything with confidence. Come on over to learn the “why” behind great cooking, then sit down and enjoy the meal you’ve made together.
Using a single pan, Chef Brian will guide you through how fat renders, how heat transforms texture, and how flavor is built and balanced in real time. Rather than simply following steps, you’ll learn the mechanics behind cooking, giving you the ability to apply these techniques instinctively in your own kitchen!
Working with seasonal AOOA vegetables and premium D’Artagnan duck, guests will execute a complete dish while learning how to control timing, develop a proper pan sauce, and bring every component together with precision.
Light refreshments provided. Cocktails and spirits available for purchase. Space is limited, so please register in advance.
Ages: 18+
