Splendid Summer Salads with Serge Madikians of Serevan

There are salads and then there are SALADS – in this class you will learn (and taste) the difference. Serge Madikians, owner, and chef of Serevan restaurant in Amenia, NY, will share three salads, plus a bonus salad that has a surprising, and oh-so-yummy technique. Included in this demonstration class will be Serge’s famous Tabouleh, a beloved dish from his youth in Tehran. His tabouleh however, is much elevated from what you are probably thinking. All four salads beautifully express the seasonal delights of late summer produce. We are sure you’ll view salads in a new light after this perfect summer cooking class in our Hudson Valley/Berkshires kitchen.

Class menu (plus lunch) includes:

• Serge’s Classic Tabouleh
• Cabbage, Cantaloupe & Honeydew Salad
• Serge’s Surprising Cauliflower Salad
• Watermelon & Charred Corn Salad with Oil-Poached Shrimp

This demonstration class is limited to 10 people.
