Late Winter Lunch Class with Miriam Rubin
March 2 @ 11:00 am - 2:00 pm
$120.00Event Navigation
Shake off the winter doldrums at this part hands-on cooking class led by Chef Miriam Rubin. We’ll learn to make a lively dish of Herbed Shrimp with White Beans in a rich tomato broth served with garlic toasts for sopping up the juices. The shrimp dish will be accompanied by leafy greens tossed with toasted walnuts in a delicious shallot vinaigrette you’ll want to make for other salads at home. For dessert, we’ll each make our own easy-as-pie French Apple Tarts. Served warm with a silky Vanilla Crème Anglaise, these tarts are the perfect ending to a lovely meal that we’ll share after the class.
Menu to include:
- Herbed Shrimp with White Beans and Garlic Toasts
- Green Salad with Toasted Walnuts and Shallot Vinaigrette
- French Apple Tarte with Vanilla Crème Anglaise
