Class Description:
Get cozy tonight, and we’ll cook up some of your favorite American Chinese restaurant classics! In this hands-on experience, you'll master the art of crafting some of the most celebrated American Chinese dishes, each bursting with authentic flavors and traditional favorites. Tonight’s instructor is Lisa Burgess. Lisa has extensive experience in the restaurant industry including as a sommelier. Her previous management positions included working at several notable Kansas City establishments including Venue, Cafe Sebastienne at The Kemper Museum, and The American Restaurant. Lisa has a passion for culinary education, she spent more than ten years as a culinary arts instructor at The Career and Technology Center at Fort Osage in Independence, Missouri, and manages a catering company employing students from across the metropolitan area who work alongside industry professionals.  For Lisa, cooking and sharing a meal is more than a task-it's a powerful tool for education, a means to unite families and communities, and a bridge across cultural divides, she can’t wait to see you in the kitchen! 

Our dinner starts with Crab Rangoon! We’ll fill light wonton wrappers with a savory crab and creme cheese mixture, form them into the iconic 4 point star we’ve come to know and love, then enjoy them with sweet and sour sauce. Wonton Soup comes next as we learn to create pillowy dumplings filled with pork or shrimp served in savory broth. We’ll give the fryer a break and learn to create crispy Orange Chicken in the oven while we sauté Bok Choy, a common and versatile green used in many Chinese dishes, with ginger and garlic.  So simple and incredibly delicious! A light, crunchy Almond Biscuit with Ice Cream is just the right amount of dessert after our multi-course American Chinese restaurant favorites.
