Class Description:
Transport your senses to the charming seaside towns of New England in this engaging dinner class. You will experience rich culinary traditions that have delighted generations in this quintessential American region. Your guide is Chef Gary Hild who will share his passion for the culinary arts. At 73, Chef Gary is a dedicated cyclist (last year, he completed the 475-mile RAGBRAI bike tour across Iowa), foodie, and health advocate. Chef Gary will teach essential cast iron cooking techniques and fantastic dishes that can easily be incorporated into your everyday meals. 

Your New England taste tour begins with Clams Casino: clams broiled in a garlic butter sauce with bacon, bell peppers, and topped with savory breadcrumbs. Next up: Lobster Bisque. Start with a basic Mirepoix, add in rich lobster stock and just a hint of cream of cognac for a sweet and savory flavor combination.

You will then join Chef Gary in creating Haystack Crab Cakes- lump Blue Crab meat with Old Bay Seasoning and house-made tartar sauce with a side of traditional Coleslaw. Of course, no New England feast would be complete without dessert, and we have a sure-fire winner for our last dish: Blueberry Buckle, juicy wild blueberries topped with a sweet, crunchy topping, this East Coast cobbler cannot be missed! Join us on this mouthwatering journey to master time-honored recipes that define New England cuisine.
