Treasured Heirlooms | Wednesday, Aug. 30th
Ah. Summer's Bounty. There's nothing as glorious as the farmer's market when all the local produce starts to appear. The flavor and aroma of sun-ripened tomatoes and Michigan fruit are such a treat. We'll celebrate the season with a class focused on all these late summer delights. Chef Steven will work his magic on the finest ingredients produced by nature.
Garden-Fresh Bloody Mary - Kind of like a bloody Mary bar in a glass.
Grilled Breads & Spreads - Great appetizers and gorgeous works of art. Three different toppings to use alone or all on the same bread 'palette.'
Herbed Cauliflower Spread - creamy, garlicky goodness
Pickled Carrot Ribbons - bright. tangy & eyecatching
Sweet Cabbage & Onion Jam - The perfect foil for the other toppings,
adding more flavor, texture, and color!
Chicken Cutlets with Heirloom Tomatoes & Arugula - Lightly breaded cutlets, seasoned with the freshest herbs, lightly pan-grilled and served atop a dressed arugula and heirloom tomato salad.
Pappardelle with Shrimp - and that's just the start. We'll feature fresh heirloom tomatoes and just-picked herbs to perfect the flavor and make it beautiful to behold. The shrimp, of course, will be grilled for that sensational summertime flavor.
Smoky Corn Maque Choux - delicious whether you can pronounce it or not! Smoked sausage with grilled corn kernels, okra and more fresh-from-the-garden ingredients. Brought to us by both the Creole and Native American cultures, this is a dish that will, no doubt, be adopted by yours!
Rustic Peach Melba Galette - a lovely, flaky crust folded up around a spectacular peach filling and drizzled with a fresh raspberry sauce. You want some now, don't you?
