with Chef Will Ross

SKOL! Chef Will Ross is returning to the HKS Kitchen to bring you another evening packed with hardy Nordic dishes that highlight a combination of the region’s savory, sweet, and pickled delights. Throughout the evening, you’ll explore the rich, comforting flavors of Nordic cuisine, beginning with delicate gravadlax – cured salmon – served alongside earthy mushrooms and tangy pickled onions on rye toast. Then you’ll move on to make a hearty main course of Æbleflæsk – a traditional Danish pork dish paired with sautéed apples, cabbage, and onions that perfectly blends sweet and savory notes. And you’ll finish with pickled peach clafoutis, a unique custardy dessert that offers a bright, lightly tangy end to the evening. Come get a taste of the ingenuity and simplicity of Nordic cooking along with an earful of tales about how Chef Will’s grandmother inspired the dishes he shares with you. Recipes will be provided. Tickets are priced per person.

*All class ticket sales are final. No refunds or credit transfers to other classes are available. If you purchase a ticket and are unable to attend, please contact us to check our waitlist.*
