with Chef Miranda Kohout
Resolve to kick off the new year with wholesome treats that won't steer you away from your healthy resolutions. Chef Miranda Kohout is coming to the HKS Kitchen with a health-inspired baking class featuring whole grains and natural sweeteners. Before you start making treats, you’ll ease into things with a savory-sweet butternut squash and goat cheese galette. Then, Chef Miranda will show you how to create quick and easy fig and walnut bars. Next, you’ll mix up a spelt and olive oil cake with chocolate and sea salt and honey custard tarts with fresh fruit on a chef-prepared kinako shortbread crust. This class combines approachable techniques with nutritious seasonal ingredients for a deliciously satisfying experience. Recipes will be provided. Tickets are priced per person.

MEET THE CHEF:
Miranda graduated from the French Pastry School in Chicago in 2005. Her pastry career began at NoMI, a Michelin-star restaurant in Park Hyatt’s flagship property on Michigan Avenue. It continued at Goddess & Grocer, Hoosier Mama Pie Company, and The Bristol. In 2015, she, her husband, and their dog Doc, relocated to Northwest Arkansas. Her introduction to the NWA culinary scene was at The Farmer’s Table in Fayetteville, where their passion for local products and support of area farmers shaped her perspective on food and cooking in her new home. If you’re a fan of beloved local spots, there’s a good chance you’ve been introduced to her pastries and baked goods. Miranda has created desserts for Pressroom, The Hive, and baked pies at Wright’s BBQ. Currently, she consults on the dessert menu at Conifer in Bentonville.
