Brunch with David Wurth of CrossRoads Food Shop

Join David Wurth (of CrossRoads Food Shop) for BRUNCH! Here’s how he describes this class and its dishes:

“At CrossRoads there were items on the menu that arrived almost as soon as the day the restaurant opened and with very little tweaking remained there until the day it closed ten years later. That’s a good run. One of those items was the Salt Cod Hash with Eggs. Salt cod is a personal favorite and giving it a spot on the menu would be embraced by those diners out there who know it and love it. Any egg with the hash is a winner but the soft runny yolk from a poached egg is my choice to bring the textures together. Poaching an egg is way easier than it looks and is something anyone can master with a few tricks.

“Finally, as a year-round salad fan, the cooler weather inspires a warm salad so we’ll bake apples and serve them with autumn greens (young kale and frisee if available) toasted walnuts and a bacon and maple dressing for a sweet and smoky shot of zing.”

Join David in our Hudson Valley/Berkshires kitchen as he shares his cooking secrets and makes a delicious brunch, which will include his famous buttery biscuit.

Menu:

• Salt Cod Hash with Poached Eggs and Pepper Puree
• Autumn Greens with Baked Apples, Walnuts and Bacon-Maple Dressing
• Dave’s Buttery Biscuit

Note: This demonstration class is limited to ten people.

About David Wurth

Chef David Wurth began cooking long ago as part of the family team that assembled meals for evening dinner. Everybody helped a little. He vividly recalls helping his mother make a salad where he learned that the technique of tearing the lettuce leaves instead of cutting them with a knife made for a better tasting salad. He also recalls learning that after slicing a cucumber for the salad there is left a small nub at the end the salad maker gets to eat as a special only-for-the-cook treat. Secrets and special treats—well that was intriguing enough to open the door to spend more time in the kitchen. Later, there were professional stops in Martha’s Vineyard and Philadelphia and New York City, and then Philmont, NY. Most recently he was the chef/owner of CrossRoads Food Shop in Hillsdale NY, where he famously made egg sandwiches, pancakes, baked goods, pickles and sandwiches for a full decade of Hudson Valley deliciousness while using seasonal ingredients grown by his local farmer friends.
