The Perfect Fall PEAR(ing) – Autumnal Cheese & Fruit With Miriam Rubin

It has been a prolific year for fruit here in the Hudson Valley and Berkshires. Peaches may be gone, but we’ve got apples and pears galore! In this demonstration class Chef Miriam celebrates our bountiful harvest season with recipes that highlight the best in seasonal fruits and cheese. Cheese boards are popular, but we’ll be going beyond the board to cook up dishes where fruit and cheese are the starring ingredients that perfectly complement one another. Miriam will prepare a fruit and cheese feast and offer tips on the best varieties of fruit to use for each dish.

Menu to include:

• Parmesan and Cheddar-Crumbed Chicken Breasts with Fall Apple Salad
• Blue Cheese and Dried Pear Company Bread
• Sweet Cheese and Honey Pear Galette

This demonstration class (plus lunch) is limited to ten people.
