HANDS-ON PRESSURE COOKING WITH BRUCE WEINSTEIN AND MARK SCARBROUGH

All the best chefs use them, and no wonder! Pressure cookers cut hours off the cooking time and still create dishes worthy of any dinner party. Our grandmothers’ cookers may have hissed on the stove causing fear in the hearts of everyone in the kitchen, but today’s models are safer and more efficient.

Bruce Weinstein and Mark Scarbrough are the authors of the national best-seller THE GREAT BIG PRESSURE COOKER BOOK. It has over 500 recipes, with each one calibrated for both electric and stovetop cookers. Bruce and Mark are returning to HGS Home Chef for a low-pressure afternoon of fun and food while you learn hands-on how to work with these must-have chef tools.

This dynamic duo will instruct you through a menu that includes a risotto in minutes without stirring and rich and flavorful beef stew that won’t take all day. Don’t feel the pressure, just come cook (and eat) with us!
