Get ready for a hands-on, flavor-packed evening where you’ll learn restaurant-level techniques and walk away with recipes that’ll wow friends and family. In this Chef’s Favorites Menu class, we’ll prepare a three-course meal that balances comfort, technique, and a little culinary bravado.
Wilted Bacon Spinach Salad
Crisp, smoky bacon meets tender baby spinach in a warm, tangy dressing that brightens every bite. You’ll learn how to render bacon perfectly, build a quick pan vinaigrette with garlic and red wine vinegar, and finish the salad with optional toasty nuts or a sprinkle of Parmesan for contrast. Tips on timing keep the spinach delightfully wilted but still vibrant.
Chicken Cordon Bleu en Croute with Sauce Mornay
Classic French technique, reimagined for the home cook. Rolling a stuffed chicken breast, achieving an even, flavorful filling with ham and cheese, and wrapping it all in a golden, flaky puff pastry. Create a silky Sauce Mornay — a creamy, cheesy sauce that elevates the whole dish.
Decadent Cherry Fudge Brownie with Amaretto Crème Anglaise
End on a decadently sweet note: Fudgy chocolate brownies studded with cherries, baked to just the right molten texture. We’ll cover mixing technique for ultra-rich brownies and how to test for doneness. Finish with a boozy, velvety Amaretto Crème Anglaise for an elegant, melt-in-your-mouth finale.
What you’ll learn
Knife work and mise en place for efficient home cooking
Working with puff pastry and finishing techniques for even browning
Making a classic Mornay and a instant custard-style crème anglaise
Plating and timing so all courses come together beautifully
Who this class is for Home cooks who want to level up with classic techniques, date-night duos looking for a playful, hands-on evening, and teams seeking a delicious challenge that builds camaraderie.
Bring an appetite and a sense of adventure — we’ll supply the ingredients, the stations, and all the tips you need to recreate this Chef’s Choice Menu at home.
