Class Description
Tonight's class is taking you to America's oldest restaurant in the heart of historic Boston- the Union Oyster House. Known for classic New England fare, the restaurant has been operating since 1826. Tonight's menu is all about recreating their best dishes right here in Kansas City. 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 14 Travel Holiday Awards and 2 Four Diamond Awards for Food Excellence.
We're starting off with a Basque-Style Mussels and Clam Chowder, a must-try hearty soup for any visit to New England and perfect for a crisp fall evening like tonight. Potatoes, onions, celery, corn and bacon make this a substantial stew, helping to bring out the briny flavors in the mussels and clams. Our next seafood dish is Pan-Seared Scallops & Shrimp with Sun-Dried Tomato Cream Sauce. Learn how to perfectly pair a rich cream sauce with shrimp and delicate scallops to create a mouthwatering and impressive looking dish you will easily be able to recreate in your own kitchen. Rounding out your seafood adventure is a flaky, light Buttered Crumb-Topped Scrod, a simple and easy to do dish that leaves a big impact for any dinner, especially when paired with a side of sweet and smoky Boston Baked Beans.
To end your evening on a sweet note, Chef Richard has an unforgettable Boston Cream Pie to share with you. This classic New England cake is layered buttery sponge cakes filled with a thick custard and topped with a rich chocolate frosting. This is a perfect class for a chilly fall evening, and Chef Richard's menu is a great way to introduce your new favorite cold-weather menu. Come into our kitchens to warm-up and eat-up!
