David Wurth has always highlighted local, seasonal ingredients in his cooking, not just at his beloved CrossRoads Food Shop, but long before. In this demonstration class he will share three cold soups that he served at CrossRoads during the glory of summer, and will share not just his recipes but also his sage advice on how to make these soups so delicious.
This demonstration class (plus lunch) is limited to ten people
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.
