royal hungarian with wine $60

Marion Hook • March 19, 2016 • 3:00 PM to 6:00 PM Hands-on Class
EAT AS IF YOU ARE ROYALTY! It’s been said that Hungarians eat as if they were kings.  Using fresh vegetables, small bites of meat, eggs, chocolate and cream, create and share a feast that is fit for royalty.  Learn how to make lescó, a fresh vegetable dish which can be used as an appetizer, a side dish or for the base of goulash which will be made in class. We’ll explore variations of paprika chicken and combine cucumbers, spices and sour cream to make a spectacular salad.  The crown of the class will be a dobos torte, eight layers of heaven covered with caramel and chocolate. Saying the cake is fit for royalty would not be an exaggeration; Franz Joseph I (Emperor of Austria and King of Hungary) and Empress Elisabeth were among the first to taste it when it was unveiled at the National General Exhibition of Budapest in 1885.  Recipes used have been handed down in Marion’s family since the early 1900’s.

fun with filo $40

 Erica Swadley • March 25, 2016 • 11:00 PM to 1:30 PM Hands-on Class
Learn to feel comfortable and in charge with those intimidating paper thin sheets of Filo dough that some clever crafts-person or machine has created just for you. Spanakopita, the delicious Greek spinach pie is easier to make than you'd think and so satisfying. Butternut Gruyere turnovers, wrapped in filo, are an addictive two bite appetizer treat. Baklava, the glistening chopped nut and filo dessert, drenched in a honey lemon syrup is a great addition to add to your potluck or party repertoire.
