Class Description:
Tonight’s class is all about socializing the Spanish way. Your guide is longtime Instructor Chef Richard McPeake. Chef Richard is the Retired Lead Chef Instructor of Kansas City Kansas Community College Culinary Center Chef Instructor for 20 years and a graduate of the Culinary Institute of America. He has won countless awards throughout his career including the American Royal Grand Champion plus seven first place ribbons. Tonight, Chef Richard is taking you to the Iberian Peninsula tonight with a traditional spread of Spanish Tapas.

We’re going big on small plates and kicking the evening off with a Charcuterie Board full of Spanish flavors. A variety of cheeses, meats; like salami and prosciutto, pistachios and smoked cashews to add a flavorful texture variety, olives, dips, and an assortment of berries and crackers. Finally you need a sweet ending for any Charcuterie Board with some chocolates.     

Next, Chef Richard is showing you how to make Spain's famous Gazpacho Blanco. Cucumbers, garlic, spices, and yogurt, make this cold soup a hot item for any dinner party. Creamy, light, with a hint of heat is a perfect way to lead into our series of small plates: Shrimp and Chorizo, Grilled Fennel, and Hanger Steak. We couldn’t end the night without a sweet finish. Chef Richard will demonstrate the process of creating a Valencia Orange Flan, often referred to as the national dessert of Spain. Enjoy these small plate creations for a big night of fun with friends!
