Join us on August 4th for our second Yummy 3 ring circus. This will be a Mediterranean inspired evening you will never forget where you will learn knife skills, taste fabulous wine, be involved in cooking a wonderful dinner AND then get to eat it. Eat, Learn and Enjoy! This class will teach you how to perform in the kitchen with three “areas” of instruction. Below is a program of events:
Door opens: 5:30 PM
1st Session: 6:00 – 6:30 PM Intermission: 10 minutes
2nd Session: 6:40 – 7:20 PM Intermission: 10 minutes
3rd Session: 7:30 – 8:00 PM
Dinner Start: 8:15 PM Dinner End: estimated 9:30 PM
STATIONS/WHAT YOU WILL LEARN:
1st Station: “Power of the glass”
Tasting of different white (2) and red (2) wines from different glasses.
Did you know that the very same wine will taste completely different when poured into and drunk out of different glasses?
We are more than happy to show you. We will taste 4 different wines (2 red and 2 white) out of 4 different glasses and you will feel that you are drinking different wines.
Yes, it is that dramatic.
Buy the right glass and save money when drinking less expensive wines rather than expensive wines from a wrong glass.
2nd Station: “Knife Skills Instructions”
How to prep a cutting station, knife types, how to hold a knife, how to sharpen a knife, basic knife cuts.
During the class we will show, how to set-up a cutting station, how to handle, hold and sharpen a knife, go through different cuts and practice, practice, practice.
Please bring your favorite knife from home (we hope it is an eight inch Chef’s knife) and we will teach how to handle it.
