Cooking Boot Camp
The Culinary Institute of America has produced some of the finest chefs with exceptional skills in all aspects of food preparation. In this intensive two-day class, Chef Porter will share her CIA training and all the fundamentals which will take your experience in the kitchen to a whole new level. Expect to leave this class with a professional approach to preparing dishes at home.

The menu includes: Classic French Onion Soup, Smoked Cheddar Vegetable Soup, Tuna Niçoise Salad, and Chinese Chicken Salad. We will enjoy our dishes with a glass of wine and get ready for day two!

The morning menu will include Herb and Cheese Omelet Pasta Carbonara, Cajun Red Beans and Rice, and Butter Crunch Lettuce with Tarragon Crème Fraîche Dressing. After our break, we will move on to meats and various methods of preparation, roasting, grilling, sautéing and classic sauces for main dishes.
