SUMMARY:Summer Sunday Brunch\, a Cooking Class with David Wurth
DESCRIPTION:If David Wurth is known for one thing\, it is his masterful use of seasonal ingredients. It’s little wonder that there were lines out the door to his beloved eatery CrossRoads Food Shop \,which he ran for a decade. In this culinary class (limited to just eight people) chef David will share his skills to create a Summer Sunday Brunch held in our upstairs kitchen and adjoining dining room. There will be coffee and Mimosas to start and as the kitchen gets going you might even help him make a dish or two. \nSunday Brunch Menu will include:\n\nBrined Baked Bluefish\nSpoonbread with Fresh Corn & Oven Dried Tomatoes\nCold Poached Eggs\nScallion Flatbread\n\n \nThis cooking class\, plus brunch\, is limited to EIGHT people. \nCLICK HERE TO RESERVE A TICKET. \nAbout David Wurth\nChef 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. \nCancellation policy: We do not offer refunds on purchased tickets. \nClass attendees receive 10% discount on kitchenware and cookbook purchases on class day. \nCooking class attendees receive 10% discount on kitchenware purchases on class day. \nHGS Home Chef is a member of TheWorkshopExperience.org\, a group of friends who produce an annual festival of creative workshops on a wide variety of topics in and around Hillsdale\, NY – at the crossroads of the Hudson Valley and Berkshires.
