Hands On | Dinner & Wine Pairings
Thu 12/15/22   6:30-9:00 pm.

Class Description: 

Boom.  Drop the mic.  You’ve just found the perfect holiday dinner experience! Expect to be dazzled under the tutelage of Chef Richard McPeake as he teaches you to prepare a spectacular dinner menu that’s perfect for entertaining friends, special thank you for business associates or a cozy date night with your special someone.

You’ll start your festive evening with a glass of wine as you enjoy the Jack Cheese & Smokey Chipotle Cheese Dip that will be waiting for you when you arrive.  Then, you’ll watch Chef create a fancy-schmancy real-deal Caesar Salad, made like the chefs make ‘em. 

Next, you’ll learn culinary techniques like proper stuffing, breading, and pan-frying and practice them as you create our entrée of Chicken Cordon Bleu with Mushroom Supreme Sauce served with Sundried Tomato Puntette on the side. If that doesn’t entice you, then sit back and watch Chef shows off his mad cooking skills as he prepares his famous Strawberry Chocolate Fancy that will end our class on a sweet note. 

Throughout the evening, you’ll be tasting wines that are perfectly paired with the dishes in tonight’s celebratory feast. In the end, we’ll toast to our beautiful food as we dine around a dazzling holiday table!  What a unique way to celebrate the  holiday season!
