Class Description
We are excited to have you join us tonight for a class German-style cooking experience. 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 and the 2021 American Technical Education Association: Outstanding Technical Program Award for Culinary Arts.
Richard will introduce you to a number of cooking methods tonight: braising, marinades, sauce thickening, and dumpling making. German recipes often boil, simmer, broil, sauté or braise smaller pieces of meat and larger pieces of meat are either braised or roasted. We’ll learn these methods tonight in traditional dishes such as Inseneintopf mit Speck (Lentil Stew With Bacon), Weiner Schnitzel a la Holstein, Homemade Spatzle, Blaukraut (Braised Sweet & Sour Red Cabbage) and Fresh Apple Strudel using phyllo dough with a rich, fresh made caramel sauce.
This is the perfect class for a chilly winter evening. Come get warm and cozy in our kitchens with an extraordinary meal taught by a master chef.
