Classic Chefs: Charlie Trotter with Cortney - $65 per person

It’s a new year and we’re excited to offer you a new culinary history experience! This year we’ll be offering our Classic Chef’s series, featuring one influential chef each month.  Learn about how each of the featured chefs have contributed to cuisine and how we eat today. This month we’ll focus on Charlie Trotter, the controversial and ground breaking Chicago chef! Learn his history, talk a bit about restaurants and how they work and leave with a newfound respect for those who paved the way for our culinary landscape. Plus, we’ll cook up four of his recipes and examine his methods and techniques.  This is a hands-on class. This class is taught in our 2x4 format – we’ll split up into groups of 2 and each twosome will tackle one recipe.

On the menu:

• Cardamom Beef Stew with Roasted Root Vegetables
• $80,000 Cajun Shrimp
• Goat Cheese and Basil Ravioli with Tomato Water
• Apricot-Curry Chicken Quinoa Salad
