Brunch is an ideal way to entertain guests any time of year, but in winter it can be a particularly comforting. Chef David Wurth, famous for his yummy and always seasonal breakfasts and lunches at CrossRoads Food Shop, has concocted a brunch menu that includes his delectable make-ahead French Toast. This is the perfect dish for those who love to entertain but don’t want a lot of fuss before the party. Join Chef David in our Hudson Valley/Berkshires kitchen as he demonstrates how to make his Baked French Toast, plus a seasonal frittata and more. After the class we’ll all enjoy brunch together.
This demonstration class (plus brunch) 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.
