MATCHMAKER - Tuesday, Dec. 29 @ 6:00-8:30
I'll show you that it is not which wines to match with food, but rather how to prepare your food to perfectly balance with your favorite wines! We'll start with buttered popcorn to highlight the butteriness of Chardonnay, then I'll make aromatic sauteed lemongrass-lime shrimp paired with Riesling, seared beef tenderloin with Cabernet, blue cheese with Port, plus a fabulous flourless chocolate-red wine cake with rosemary ganache served with red wine.

Been thinking I'll do the lavender class because I love lavender (and have never used it for cooking, but just about damn near everything else), and I can withstand crab cakes, I think.
December 29th you say?
Thanks for posting this. I was just trying to remember the classes you said would happen this fall from when I met you over the summer with KBO. I will try and attend.
Oh barbaric...if only I lived in missouri instead of montreal...looked at the kitchen conservatory website and found it to be an amazing place with amazing classes...so jealous
I was just looking over the new KC schedule I got in the mail and trying to choose a date for a class to go to with my friend/neighbor. Hope we can get to one of yours!
Oh! That girl's night out apple class sounds like it is calling my name :) Thanks for the list ma lady!
I'm certainly game for a girl's night out event!
